@matigo OK, you have given me the confidence to at least try a new repo and a new webhook, which I think in the end is probably the simplest solution. But not before tomorrow at the earliest.
OK, assembled geniuses of the hivemind. IHAQ:
My website is currently developed locally, as a clone of a github repo. When I want to publish something, I sync to github, and there is a webhook at the live site that pulls the changes in. Currently, the whole site is synced (with the exception of a few files that are in gitignore). This does sometimes lead to problems, when I make local changes that I do not want synched, for example debugging type things. It's a hassle, but I can deal.
However, I have been advised that a better workflow would be to sync just one folder /user and everything in it, rather than the whole site. And I don't know how to do that without losing everything else.
If I add everything else to gitignore, they'll be deleted from the production site. I can re-upload, but that seems like a bore (although I'll only have to do it once).
Is there a better solution? Could I, for example, create a new repo of just the /user folder and its contents, and sync only that? Even remove the previous repo from my local site entirely?
Would the webhook still work to pull in everything in the /user folder, or is it tied to a specific repo?
Any guidance gratefully accepted.
@matigo Very interesting. Need to think about that. But on a first past, wasn't SlimFast just a bunch of men making it easier for women to meet their (the men's) ideals.
@matigo Great. I'll have a think about images, but today I've got to prepare tomorrow's Eat This Podcast.
Many thanks @matigo for fixing the duplicate post issue and installing a snazzier theme. I'm pretty happy, although I do have a couple of questions.
Is there a way to add one bit of cover art that would apply to all past episodes? If there is, I may leave it at that or I may use Auphonic's ability to embed cover art going forward.
Same for banners. There's no way I am going to find a banner image for every podcast, and the ones you have chosen are very nice, but if I did make one image, would it be easy to substitute in for all the existing images?
How are the Featured episodes chosen? Is it just the five most recent?
Finally, for now, if I edit a post after publishing, and deselect Send Blurb, does it delete the associated blurb that was sent when the post was first published? Because I don't see a blurb here for the latest episode.
Thanks again. And if it indeed your birthday, as @jussipekonen seems to think over at the other place, then Happy Birthday and Many Happy returns.
@matigo I'm happy to do the work on summaries. No banners ever like to be needed. Go to sleep.
@matigo Well, when you do wake up, I just tried to post a podcast to DDP and after an edit it said that it was duplicate post, so I saved as Draft and now it won't let me Publish because for some reason it thinks that it is a duplicate post. Even after edits.
Also, ironically given the subject of the episode, could I possibly get a slightly better looking theme for DDP?

Hey @matigo: something seems to be up with the footnotes on your latest here [jason.10centuries.org].
