One CMS later

I'm now copying the entries I've written so far into the... spartan but custom-made CMS. I get live Markdown previews for the title and the text - the title because the title can include Markdown too, mostly because of links.

There's a plain text version of the title for various uses (like the title bar or feeds). There are both Atom and JSON feeds, and they include the formatted version of the title. They also just plain include every entry, despite what I said before.

There's no search yet. There's paging. There's no date-based index pages; if you cut off the URL components from the permalink it will go to the last known instant for what remains of the date and rewind until it finds a post, and if not, it'll throw you back to the front page. If you go to an entry in a URL that isn't the canonical URL, like 2020/5/10 instead of 2020/05/10, it throws you to the canonical version, because damn it.

I just want to get this up and running so I can have something stable to work with.
