Along the way I’ve done some navel-gazing and updated the structure of the site from its original 2008 design into something that better represents my current interests.<!--more--></p> <p>The old site only haphazardly incorporated the interests that I’ve (re-)developed since being at JHU in <a href="/research/computational/">computational semantics</a> and in <a href="/data/">using large-scale data in linguistics</a>, and it had a structure that was overly focused on my dissertation research. (Natural, given that I designed it right after writing my dissertation – but that was 12(!) years ago.) It also, despite the use of wordpress, wasn’t all that easy to update or customize.</p> <p>One big change in this site is that all bibliographical material is generated automatically from a single <code class="highlighter-rouge">.bib</code> file using <a href="https://github.com/inukshuk/jekyll-scholar">jekyll-scholar</a> and a custom variant of the <a href="https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/glossa.csl">glossa CSL style</a>. Needless to say this makes it almost too easy to fling self-citations all over the place, but it will hopefully make many aspects of the website more consistent and usable as well. This required some customization, and I have a bunch of exciting web-bibliography projects that will take this further, so feel free to ask me about the details if you are interested in a similar setup.</p>

This is a complete overhaul of my old website, moving it from (embarassingly aged) wordpress into a static site built with jekyll. Along the way I’ve done some navel-gazing and updated the structure of the site from its original 2008 design into something that better represents my current interests.
