Last night I switched the method through which I import my mastodon toots from here into my #11ty blog.
It now pulls changes when a ci build is triggered using an external script, rather than during the render/build phase. It does this by generating markdown files with yaml frontmatter. The process creates a new commit which in turn triggers a full build of the site on the main branch.
In a recent update to my site, I decided to show a helpful notice in my footer that timestamps my build, writes the abbreviated commit hash from Git, and links to the changeset on my GitHub repo for ease of reference.
I recently came back from connect.tech (one of my favorite conferences). I had the honor of giving not one, but two different talks. One of them was on static sites, or the JAMstack. This is a topic I've covered many times in the past, but it had been a while since I gave a presentation on it.
I finally switched off my PHP virtual host, after committing to a new site built with the 11ty platform.
Today saw an milestone achievement made with this blog! We completed our first automated deployment 😎. Naturally the only way to celebrate such an achievement is to share how it was done.
