Show HN: I Built a XSLT Blog Framework

You can see it at https://xsltblogdemo.vgr.land/ and get the source here https://github.com/vgr-land/vgr-xslt-blog-framework Introduction Why build my own web publishing framework? It doesn't make any sense to do so. There are enough web frameworks out there to last everyone the rest of time. I wrote this for me.

I wanted to update my blog template for years, but couldn't be bothered to figure out what's latest in web development frameworks.

Automated RSS One of the things I didn't like about bootstrap was it wasn't a content publishing platform. It did a lot of the format and layout things I liked but it didn't do RSS out of the box. Write once apply everywhere CSS and Bootstrap did a good enough job here where it was my go to for almost a decade. The template I was using was showing its age however. I had been making minor modifications to it for years and each new blog req...
