The [King Hussein mosque](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Hussein_Mosque) was built in 2005 and is the largest mosque in Jordan. I haven't visited it yet, but I've spent quite a few evenings admiring it from a balcony in the *Khalda* neighborhood of West Amman.

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/king-hussein-mosque-at-night/"]`

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 = ["DSC_0010.JPG"]`
