Category Introductions via LLM

I used GPT-5 to create introduction text for my blog categories. Now I just need Tiny Theme to pull them in and I’ll be set.

This is the prompt I used:

I’m including a list of all categories on my blog along with the link to the archive page for that category. I would like you to visit each one of these links and use the sample of blog posts to create a short one to three sentence introduction for each category. Don’t get overly specific and make sure to keep the introductions in a similar writing style to the content on my blog.

Passing the explicit list of categories and links worked much faster than the first prompt which I asked it to just look at the Archive page and figure out what to do.

Ruthie Foster at the Dakota

We got to see Ruthie Foster play at the Dakota tonight. She did a solo set β€” just her and her guitar named Pearl. We hadn’t seen Foster play before but my Mom is a big fan of hers and I can see why. Her songs were amazing and she added so much with the stories behind them as well. I could have kept listening for another hour easily. What a great musician. 🎢

I got my ModRetro Chromatic today! Delightful so far.

First time at a TEDxMinneapolis event! Looking forward to tonight’s speakers at Orchesta Hall.

Gemini Quantum Quest @ Breakout ND

We all stopped at Breakout ND today in Bismarck to do the Gemini Quantum Quest game. The game is a split-start so Mazie and Tyler went to one place and Tammy and I to another. After getting through the initial puzzles we joined forces and saved the space station with 11m 15s still on the clock! Room 82!

Nice way to start the day at Youngblood Coffee in Fargo, ND.
