Website Update: Sidebar and Themes
by Bobby Smith - Written on January 9, 2026
Happy Friday, everyone!
This is just a quick update to let you know about some new features on the website, including a sidebar and theme options.
I was toying around with GitHub Copilot to help speed up development and it worked quite well for this update. It helped me figure out how to implement the sidebar and theme switcher more efficiently.
The sidebar is now present on all pages (except the homepage) and includes links to recent blog posts, what I'm currently reading, and contact info. This should make it easier to navigate the site and find content that interests you.
Additionally, I've implemented a theme switcher that allows you to choose between a few different color themes to customize your viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy these new features! As always, feel free to reach out with any feedback or suggestions.
Until next time, have a great weekend!
