I guess this is related to that ticket a while ago where we made a list of blog tags we wanted to keep and we discarded all the others?
Is the new plan that we just pretend the old ones didn't exist, and we wait for google and everybody else to forget about them too, and we accept that links to the old tags will be broken?Jérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orgJérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orghttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/40031Broken image links2021-11-22T14:28:58ZGusBroken image linksSome images aren't loading in this [blog post](https://blog.torproject.org/tor-project-membership-program/).

I reported this to the Discourse team and they're looking into it.
In the meantime I've applied a workaround by configuring the forum to [disable auto image downloads](https://forum.torproject.net/admin/site_settings/category/files?filter=disabled%20image) from `blog.torproject.net` which isn't ideal because PrivacyBadger block this as a cross-domain embed.Jérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orgJérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orghttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/40026Improve navbar for small screens2022-05-04T23:35:38ZJérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orgImprove navbar for small screensThe links in the top navbar could be displayed using a CSS burger menu on small screens, as it was on Drupal.The links in the top navbar could be displayed using a CSS burger menu on small screens, as it was on Drupal.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/40025Fix relative URLs in RSS/Atom feeds2021-11-17T21:21:47ZJérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orgFix relative URLs in RSS/Atom feedsAssets referred to in the feeds like lead and inline images are being generated with a relative URL.

Furthermore, some aliases containing a `blog/` or `events/` upper directory were changed to `blog-` and `events-`, again to prevent any issues with duplicate content cause missing pages.
Once the import is complete, we should go over those to generate a new URL slug based on the title, taking care to manage duplicates correctly (eg. by adding a suffix).Jérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.orgJérôme Charaouilavamind@torproject.org
