### Source excerpt

### AI overview

The author explains that cyrilmottier.com was redesigned with a more modern design, Hugo replaced Octopress, and outdated articles were removed. In response to reader requests, the legacy version of the site has been restored and is available at cyrilmottier.com/legacy.

### Source excerpt

I recently revamped my personal website for several reasons: to achieve a more modern design, switch to a faster website generator (Hugo instead of Octopress), and remove outdated articles, some of which were written in the 2000s! However, many followers on social media have asked to bring back the old version of cyrilmottier.com, expressing both nostalgia and a genuine appreciation for the older content. While working on bringing this content back, I realized they were right in many ways. Thanks to them for pushing me to do this. It's so fun to still be able to read about mobile release management back in 2014, why splash screens were are evil or how Dart is going to shape the future of Android 😂.

### AI overview

The author announces a solidified personal website built as a single-page application. Its links use JavaScript routing to load and display new content without navigating to separate pages. The author also describes plans to add image loading through the GData API and integrate GitHub repository and activity listings.

### Source excerpt

I spent some time today and solidified my personal website (http://tkellogg.github.com). I'm pretty excited about this website just because its a great demonstration of single page apps. Each of my main links doesn't actually take you to a different page - it uses a JavaScript routing engine (backbone) to load and display new content.I do have some plans for the site, but there are so many more important things to deal with these days. But if I can get to them I want to start a picasa site and load images into the site using the gdata api (like how I load blog posts now) and also integrate with github to list out my repositories and activity.
