| Yesterday I posted my 25th blog post for the #100DaysToOffload. That's 25% of the challenge. If it wasn't clear by the post Showing GitHub Stars With Static Site Generator Hugo, I use Hugo for this site. All this time, I was manually adding a footnote to each of the blog posts: This post is {n}th of my #100DaysToOffload challenge. Want to get involved? Find out more at 100daystooffload.com. Figuring out what {n} is for each blog post wasn't fun.
