+      <p>Well, it took a lot of work over multiple days, but my website finally <a href="https://kalechips.net/posts/2022-09-09-Mobile-Compatibility">Works On Phones&trade;</a>. Funny thing is, I originally chose this strict single-column layout in order to make it easier to get my website to look nice on those little portrait displays, but I ran into some weird scaling issues I couldn't figure out until one day I bit the bullet and googled it and lo and behold, turns out all I needed to do was add <code>&lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"&gt;</code> to every single page. That literally fixed everything.<p>
+      <p>Almost everything after that was polish, plus finding workarounds for the overabundance of <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>s everywhere. One of the biggest improvements I made was adding a slick hamburger menu on mobile devices instead of trying to force the regular top bar to work with so little space. I'm real proud of that one.</p>
+      <p>My favorite part (sarcasm) was <a href="../stuff">/stuff/</a>. For some idiot reason I designed that particular page entirely differently back in v2 and barely changed it even after the v3 overhaul. I had to rip that fucker up down to the studs and redo it completely to get it responsive, styling-wise at least. I kind of miss the old version - it had its charms - but from a UX standpoint this is probably better.</p>
+      <p>In other news, I set up that Nextcloud instance. I don't actually intend to use it for, like, email and calendars and file storage like the devs seem to want me to - I've got Proton Unlimited for that, and it's definitely more secure than me - but it does a lot of cool less-critical stuff. It's got an <span title="Yarr is fine, but Nextcloud News has edged it out by being compatible with mobile apps.">RSS reader</span>, kanban boards (think Trello), forms, a system monitor for my server (‽), and a ton of other wacky bullshit too. It's like a million different services I would have otherwise had to self-host separately (and probably run every damn database server under the sun). It's great.</p>
