## countclicks.js
// /functions/countclicks.js - A Netlify function to count outbound link clicks
// Using a Firebase Firestore Database to store the click counts.
//
// The Firestore database has a collection called posts. In each post document
// there is a recordID (same as the Airtable recordID). Each record also has a
// count that will be incremented by 1 on each invocation of this function.
//
// Two query parameters are passed to this function:
//   1. itemid - the recordID of the post (required)
//   2. itemlink - the link to the post (for my viewing pleasure)

## feedsformulti.js
// Read from an OPML file and write to a JSON file, processing the OPML file
// and producing the following for each of the feed items in the file:
//   name: title of the feed (from the title attribute)
//   url: URL of the feed (from the htmlUrl attribute)
//   feed: URL of the feed (from the xmlUrl attribute)
//   feedtype: type of feed (from the type attribute)
//
// NOTE: This only extracts feeds from the "CSS" and "Eleventy" outlines.
//       Remove that test if you wish to extract all of the feeds.
//

## getDescription.js
// getDescription - given a url, this Eleventy filter extracts the meta
// description from within the <head> element of a web page using the cheerio
// library.
//
// The full html content of the page is fetched using the eleventy-fetch plugin.
// If you have a lot of links from which you want to extract descriptions, the
// initial build time will be slow. However, the plugin will cache the content
// for a duration of your choosing (in this example, it's set to 1 day).
//
// The description is extracted from the <meta> element with the name attribute
