og:image, clients and hot buns!!

March 12, 2024 3goodthings

I’m trying to stick to the habit of recording three good things that happened to me during the day. Here’s today’s list.

1. I got my og:image functionality working! There was an error in the template that I’m using that was allowing white space to collect around the URL derived by the build script. A call out to the Fedi community saw @11ty respond and put me on the right track by recommending I remove the white space. Ta-da! It works.
2. At least one of my Employability clients today had me in stitches just by being themselves. I love Manchester’s Deaf community. Please don’t ever change!
3. Waiting for the train home, a server behind the counter at the coffee shop asked if I wanted my cinnamon swirl bun heated up. After I’d got over the culture shock I decided to give it a try. Honestly, game-changer!
