Since I forget what I actually need to do to update this website, figured it would be a nice little post.

Recently my auto-lighthouse package has been receiving more attention from the community at large.
Because of this extra attention, I decided to add some features that were missing and fix some bugs that I was unaware of.
I ended up fixing my broken blocked list, thanks to César Valadez for the initial fix which led to a more permanent fix.
I additionally added a new default behavior based on feedback and added a command line argument to change the number of threads used during the process.
Additional thanks to Konrad Szwarc for finding a documentation issue in the README!
