Blog2019 ≫ Did some fixes to this site

Last night after the exhibition while trying to fix the rebuilding of this site I finally got round to fixing an old bug. When I rebuild this site it seems to change far too many unrelated files, thousands of them. The more files that change, the slower and more expensive it is for me to push up changes. Turns out it was all down to how I order the files on here. I am sorting blog posts etc by date, and also the search links. So when you search for exhibition say, it should list the blog posts in date order, newest at the top, and then also each post has a "previous post" and "next post" link too, which are based on the date of the post. I had a few problems, some content does not have a date, causing it to be sorted randomly, the search links were not really being sorted by date at all, and some posts had exactly the same date and time, so they would also be ordered randomly. This mean some content looked to have changed each time I rebuilt, and the more that has changed, the slower and more expensive it is to deploy. Pretty much all fixed now, nice!

Also, looks like I am going to see KISS with Jack in July now... Oh The O2, how I have not missed you.
