The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! Links this week include a thespian feline, analog ASCII art and a directory of sites that have that Old Web feel. I checked out a new coffee place and I’m leaving Roku and going back to a media PC. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

I can’t say I’m surprised that ASCII art as a concept is centuries old.

Over the weekend, I challenged myself to learn my way around Eleventy and build the skeleton of my new personal website.

I’m not quite there yet, but I’m happy with the experience. I blogged about it, starting with this post.

Fantastic series of posts! I’m glad you found my recent post.

You raise a number of questions on Building an Eleventy Site Skeleton: Day 1 Report · Key and Card that I never touch upon, and most likely won’t. I’m inclined to add a section of resources for further learning on the post for people to continue to the journey.

On this post Building an Eleventy Site Skeleton: Day 2 Report · Key and Card

So even if I were copying things over wholesale, that is explicitly permitted. And I’m not, I’m doing what amateur web designers and hackers have always done, which is to learn by reading and remixing.

This is definitely the way I got going with 11ty, picking parts from here and there and ultimately making it work.

Maybe a post on further learning is in order to answer some of those questions

Thanks for the note, and for the tutorial! My questions in the Day 2 post were not directed at you; I think it’s perfectly reasonable that beginner-focused resources wouldn’t address them. Even without that information, your post was super helpful.

This week’s tiara post: Turquoise Oak Leaves and Acorns.

hey, me mention! :smiley:

I am glad you are not using my 11ty starter because it is not very good in my opinion, lol.

I did a much better job with IndiePaper, though that’s in Hugo, not 11ty.

I’ve also been thinking of making a theme out of brennan.day, as I haven’t done that yet, but I update it so often that it would quickly become outdated and I’d have to do a lot of maintenance.

Also absolutely, I am an advocate for people outright stealing my work, I don’t give a fuck. But the AGPL license means you have to license your own work AGPL too, that’s copyleft!

Reading about everyone learning 11ty made me realize how fortunate I was in my learning

I started off with handrolling everything, and after the second or third time screwing something up by copy and pasting the wrong thing opted to build my own SSG from scratch in Python (at this point I was not aware that SSGs were something you could just download and use)

So going to a proper SSG from my Python mess was quite refreshing all things considered haha

I don’t know which bloggers here use git for managing their blog, but I’ve written a little post about trying to make that more oriented for writing.
