@title{Design and Layout}

The design and implementation of @italic{The Local Yarn} are guided by a few basic requirements that
have evolved since I started the site in 1999.

@itemlist[
  @item{@bold{The writing will live in two places: on a web server, and on bookshelves.} The web
  server, because it’s a fun, fast way to publish writing and code to the whole world (you knew that
  already); but also on bookshelves, because
  @ext-link["https://thelocalyarn.com/excursus/secretary/posts/web-books.html"]{a web server is like
  a projector}, and I want to be able to turn it off someday and still have something to show for
  all my work. Plus, I just like printed books.}

  @item{@bold{Addenda to older writings should be highly visible.} I like to revisit, resurface and
  amend things I’ve written before. Views change, new ideas come along. In a typical blog the focus
  is always at whatever’s happening at the head of the time stream; an addendum to an older post is,
  for all practical purposes, invisible and nearly useless. I want them to be extremely visible.
  These addenda should also be able to mark major shifts in the author’s own perspective on what
  they originally wrote.}

  @item{@bold{Finally: everything produced here, both in print and on the web, should look good.}}
]

@nested[#:style 'inset]{
  “Yet modest ornament with use combined @(linebreak)
  Attracts the eye to exercise the mind.” @(linebreak)
  —@ext-link["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Rogers"]{Samuel Rogers}
}

Added code-docs/tour.scrbl version [957f21f4].

@title{A Tour: Publishing on @italic{The Local Yarn}}

It’s pretty simple.
