Meta: Some late spring cleaning

It was annoying me for a while now that my chosen theme PaperMod didn’t also support some kind of all-in-one RSS feed with all main sections. And also that the feeds were called index.xml instead of feed.xml, confusing me every time I wanted to check something on them manually. Also, the feed link title just being rss didn’t exactly help in a feed reader either.

So just now I’ve done some long overdue spring cleaning on this page:

1. I updated PaperMod¹ & adjusted my overwrites as necessary
2. I implemented my custom rss feed template with some more logic to render it with all main sections on home
3. I disabled the automatic inclusion of the section feeds and created my own with proper title attributes ("(All|Blog|TIL) posts on foosel.net"), put into the head of all pages
4. I overrode the default name of the generated feeds to be feed.xml & added the necessary redirects (hopefully…)
5. I also added links to the main RSS feed at two prominent places: in the social icons on the home page as well as in the main navigation next to the search button. While the feeds were always discoverable through the related link tags in the HTML page itself, and there were also specific links on the section main pages, I still got some questions here and there on whether there was a feed, so I hope this makes things easier to discover now.

If you want a look behind the scenes on how I did that, this page’s source is on a public repo, so feel free to take a look 😊

All that’s left to say is: I’m sorry should I have broken something there or caused your RSS reader to push all old posts into your face 😬
