My blog on gopher is still a second class citizen, but it's getting better

Speaking of gopher [1], I've made it clear that the gopher version of my blog [2] (as well as the Gemini version of my blog [3]) are second class citizens. Since my last post on this matter [4], the formatting has improved a bit [5], but it's not quite there yet [6] (the gopher version is okay at best, but the gemini version could use more work—more on that some other time).

But one thing that has improved is better support for displaying multiple posts. Granted, that feature [7] is not used as much as I thought it would be, but I still wanted gopher and Gemini support. It took a bit of time, but I was able to get it working so now you can view my recent Brevard trip [8] on one page on the web, on gopher [9], and on Gemini [10]. And now in reverse chronological order: web [11], gopher [12] and Gemini [13] (well, you could always do reverse on the web since the beginning, it's just now I have support for the other two protocols).

All that's left is really thinking about reformatting the posts when “publishing” for gopher and Gemini …
