Switching Static Site Generators Again

This is my first blog post using 11ty (Eleventy).

Why?

I was originally going to write a blog post about something else entirely, so I installed the latest Hugo and got to work. Or tried to.

I tried running the Hugo server and saw a ton of errors and the server exiting with an error code. I did some reading and realized, I wasn't interested in making sure themes were compatible with the latest Hugo. I only write once or twice a year, and every time I write, I choose a new theme that is compatible with whatever the latest version of Hugo is at the time of writing.

I'm tired of that, so when I found 11ty, I figured I would give it a try since I also want to increase my knowledge of JavaScript and NodeJS.

It worked great. I had a very basic HTML page up and running within a few minutes.

Then I added CSS, and then I added syntax highlighting. It just worked.

So welcome to the new blog, I hope it's easy on the eyes.

By the way, try changing your system preferences between light and dark.
