+
+Have implemented [pagination](https://gohugo.io/templates/pagination/) on this stream. See the really modern looking navigation links at the foot of the page. It's functional and does the job.
+
+It all got very confusing when trying to ensure that the relative links worked - I got confused by each post being a page or not; it transpires of course that the stream does not descend into each individual page (in Hugo terms) - it's just a list.
+
+This got me into quite a lot of trouble with [.Scratch](https://gohugo.io/functions/scratch/) which I never got to work on the list content type and [writing my own shortcode](https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/), which I eventually did to implement stream images.
+
+Fell back to using absolute links in the shortcode, which is fine, but I was trying to get fancy, detecting whether the page we were on was paginated or not and setting a relative link accordingly.
+
+Reassuringly, very few people will have any inkling about what I'm talking about - neither will I in a few days.
