Since my quick intro is on my home, this page is mostly for technical information & waxing poetic.
First, here are some links from my old site:
Long story short, I generate the uniform design of this site from the colors to the names, relative paths, etc all with metadata via templating and preprocessing.
I do this with nodejs which is fine but held me back me from committing to 11ty for two years — during which I tried (brace yourself) twitter & substack (neither deserving of a URL) and simply manually coding the HTML. Manual HTML is fine for a site with maybe 5 or so pages, but even at that size it is tedious to refactor. As my personal site's posts grew in quantity, I decided to give another crack at 11ty, & here we are now.
As the lovely creator had written in the instructions for this site:
This blog template is based on eleventy-high-performance-blog which itself is based on eleventy-base-blog.
I added bootstrap & mathjax because I am used to bootstrap & I write mostly write math here.
Maybe I'll wax poetic later. For now: Enjoy!
