Even if the number of mosques in Amman *didn't* outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. The unique architecture caught my eye once and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafiyeh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself "*Is that an Armenian church?*" I finally went on an scavenger hunt and found it.

content/post: Add aliases to posts whose URL changed I changed the post URL structure to use the post's slug, so now I need to alias old post URLs to the new ones. 2016-10-05 11:48:35 +02:00			`aliases = ["/2016/09/saint-thaddeus-church-in-amman/"]`
Move all content to page bundles This allows me to use Hugo's image resizing to create img srcsets where the client downloads an appropriate image depending on their screen size. I had to go back and find original photos for each of these posts because Hugo was resizing my already-optimized versions and they looked horrible. Unfortunately I couldn't find originals for these posts: - aqaba-dirty-disappointing - contemporary-arab-design-jrf-showroom - eid-mubarak-neighborhood-dumpster - no-noise-near-noisy-mosque - red-orange-yellow-rice-bab-al-yemen Hugo will fall back to looking in the static directory for these. 2020-12-04 21:55:28 +01:00			`images = ["IMG_20160919_141959.jpg"]`
content/post: Add better categories/tags Now the theme supports categories/tags so I should think about the terms I use. 2016-09-26 07:55:00 +02:00			`categories = ["Architecture"]`
