How I post
11ty generates my website. My posts are made in terminal. Like this:
Script mkpost, or make post, creates a new directory for the
current date. It writes an index.md markdown file to that folder
with the new post’s timestamp prefilled out in the metadata.
I use pico to edit.
The blank slate.
Images are embedded with a shortcode. I can write whatever I want.
Pico is not as annoying to use as it looks. I like it.
Script woo is a short command to make a local build and rsync
with its location on my server. I use Nearly Free Speech,
they have a beautiful business.
...and that’s it.
You don‘t have to use 11ty to post this way. I’ve tried a lot of flat file systems and this one speaks to me in spirit, but plain old HTML is fine too.
