Re: GNU Anastasis press release of September 29, 2021 badly linked by Planet GNU: Fixable on our site?

[Christian Grothoff]

Well, I already noticed this, and I fixed the RSS generation (almost
immediately), but still the GNU planet picked up the new RSS but _also_
kept the old one. Hence the news shows up twice, once with a working and
once with a broken link.

Worse, the news site's CSS is awful, so I cannot in good faith recommend
reading it:

https://anastasis.lu/en/news/2021-10.html

IMO the designers did an inadequate job in that they overrode _all_
default styles for everything, destroying the standard functions of
things like <li> in their wake of making the main page(s) pretty,
instead of using a special style to be applied only to the pages where
they are needed.

If some CSS hacker were to fix that, I'd be much obliged. The Git with
the code is at git.taler.net/anastasis-www.git ;-)

Happy hacking!

Christian
