Monthly links 2024-01
Another approach to force myself ensure that I consistently fill this blog with interesting content is by following
Arne Bahlo’s Weekly approach. However, instead of posting on a weekly basis, I prefer to post
on a monthly basis. I don’t feel like I have enough compelling content to share 52 times a year.
Let’s get it started.

In the process of building and improving my own blog, I found this post from Cliff Biffle to be quite helpful. It provides useful information on lazy loading images and improving font loading, among other things.
