# Site TODO

**Note:** This is the `TODO.md` from the old Jekyll backend, so some of
this stuff may not make any sense.

## general
* replace `<img>` in old posts with `{{< figure >}}` (partial work
  done on stuff `>= 2019`)
* fix broken links in posts
* import files
* add "music" somewhere ("songs", keep pmdn.org for personal stuff)
* add sticky footer:
  https://css-tricks.com/couple-takes-sticky-footer/

## projects
* gemboree
* themble
