My first post
Hello,
It's me, Wade, the creator of this cool website. I wanted a place to document projects I'm working on in my spare time, or whatever the heck else.
I guess this is my first post and it is about this website! 😮😮😮 🎉🎉🎉
I initially just wanted something pretty basic, I'm not really a web person and I'm also not really good at programming, but I do have a little bit of experience with HTML and CSS so I thought I'd give it a go. I started making my website and when I went to make an include for my header I realised that HTML has no way of doing includes without some php or other incantations. I had a peep around and it seemed like 11ty (or Eleventy) was what I was after. It aligns really well with my views on the modern internet (it is terrible and I hate it) and seemed like it would be simple enough to learn.
So far the current setup is That I'm using only HTML and CSS, and then I use Eleventy (with Nunjucks and Markdown) to make my includes and content and what not. Then I'm using github pages and a github action to build it and push it to the internet whenever I make a commit. This is kind of reckless and I've broken it many times, but I think that's all part of the fun.
I will say that Eleventy is pretty cool and has been quite easy to get started with. If anyone is curious about making their own website I reccomend it!
Until next time,
Wade.
