There's a shop in Amman's main market downtown that sells traditional Arabic sweets. I'm not sure who was more excited about this half-kilogram of baklava (which is called "_baklawa_" in Arabic) — me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling 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.

Now the theme supports categories/tags so I should think about the
terms I use.

-												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.
