YAY! My #Python is improving! I made this thing that makes a new @eleventy for me based off templates. Any chance Eleventy will have a built in new post creation thing in the future? I know it makes absolutely zero assumptions about your project but this is the most time consuming part for me and I imagine I'm not alone in this thinking. https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/MakeNewPost.py #Eleventy #11ty #WebDev

I've had a statuslog section on my now page (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/now/) for a while, and I added it to my homepage as well (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/#homepageStatus).

The especially nice part is that I now have a script (https://github.com/reillypascal/personalsite-ssg/blob/main/status) so I can simply type `./status` in the terminal, write the status text in the resulting .md file that pops open, and then commit/push!

I've seen some IndieWeb people (e.g., @binarydigit) do something similar via one of omg.lol's tools (https://home.omg.lol/info/statuslog) and liked it, but I wanted to see if I could DIY it just for the heck of it. Very happy with how easy the result is!

So, super simple Eleventy + Obsidian recipe for a #DigitalGarden space:

* Set up an 11ty project
* install the eleventy-plugin-interlinker (link below)
* open the project folder in Obsidian
* create a notes folder and change your settings so that all new notes go to that folder
* Add the Backlinks code from the interlinker plugin's readme into either an Obsidian template or a 11ty layout
* Add to that template some frontmatter for title, date
* Start making notes.

Serve locally (from terminal, vscodium,, whatever).

The interlinker plugin is here:

Wrote myself a how-to (or rather a "how did I?") for adding #leaflet maps to my #11ty site.

I found this cool option to keep a post as a draft in my Eleventy site: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config-preprocessors/#example-drafts

I'd been wanting a way to view posts on a local dev server, but leave them out of my published site, and now all I have to do is add `draft: true` to the YAML frontmatter on a post and then it won't publish except on a dev server. Nice!

I've finished writing up the details on how I added search to my 11ty site without client-side Javascript after the upgrade to 11ty version 3 removed the official serverless function.

Big thanks to Zach for jumping in with some answers when I couldn't read the manual correctly (and, ya know, creating Eleventy!)

I rewrote https://annema.me using #eleventy in preparation of restarting my blog. It's almost identical to the plain HTML site I had but I feel the setup is cleaner. For example:

1. less repeated HTML: for the previous iteration I copied the entire base layout to every HTML file
2. CSS inspired by Cube CSS (https://cube.fyi): One of the reasons for the rewrite was learning more modern web development
3. Perfect Lighthouse score https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-annema-me/5ymwes6t7e?form_factor=mobile

Feedback appreciated.

#eleventeen 9.4 hits the scene like a #rainbow machine

don’t sleep on all @bobmonsour’s other great hand-picked options to kickstart your #11ty journey at https://11tybundle.dev/starters/ either

After reading a post by @troz I decided to try @eleventy for my site. The thing that resonated with me was the "black box" feeling I had with my previous setup. It was a fun journey! It’s been some time since I did CSS and JavaScript… My responsive code still needs work, but I’ll improve it.

Gaaaaaah. Trying to cache #eleventy posts in #netlify. I thought it was working but now the build keeps failing, which incidentally works fine on my local machine.

Here’s a simple example site using the Chobble Template, for a fictional builders company. It’s AGPL3 licensed and uses #Eleventy with very limited JS - the Formspark contact form which uses it to block bots via Botpoison, and Turbo for instant page changes

Finally figured out my RSS issue the other day! So @eleventy really doesn't like capital letters in tag lists. For example, I assumed Eleventy would turn the below tag...

Newsletter

Into,

.com/newsletter/

but I had to go back in and change every tag to lower case! But if I put, Newsletter, in uppercase, URLs would break because for some reason the URLs would come out like this, breaking links.

.com/Newsletter/

So the short story lesson is, if in doubt, keep all tags in lower case because #Eleventy can't really handle capitalization well. At least, on my project anyway!

I had to go back in and change every instance of the tag, Newsletter, into, newsletter. Not expected but it works now!

#Eleventy experts, I've been trying to troubleshoot an RSS fluke all day. My feed reader isn't displaying the texts of my posts, and Buttondown isn't piping my newsletter RSS feed to the email list. Any ideas? https://github.com/rkingett/myblog #RSS #Help #WebDev @eleventy

Eleventy — Use Passthrough File Copy to Add Assets

https://w3things.com/blog/eleventy-passthrough-file-copy/

Learn how to use the Passthrough File Copy feature to add static assets like CSS and JS to the output directory in the Eleventy (11ty) site.

Have been poking around different options for using #Eleventy for a notes / #DigitalGarden / personal #wiki sort of set up. Have been debating whether to try and cobble together my own set-up or use a template.

`eleventy-bloomz` might be the winner so far: minimally styled, few dependencies, functional backlinks, and a few extra features. Stays close to the basic Eleventy structure, including a minimal blog implementation.

It is meant to function as a WikiBonsai template but I don't see anything specific to that approach that couldn't be easily changed.

Would be happy to hear if anyone has a set-up they are particularly happy with.
