I've been meaning to update my old weblog for a while. It's gonna be living on that Github page for a bit until I figure out how to exactly deploy it there with Eleventy. I built it with Jekyll a couple of years ago and the setup is a little different. I'm actually surprised that it's still up since I pull/merged to the master branch and there's no Jekyll stuff on that branch. This site is on Netlify and it's setup with the second branch of the repo. Hopefully I'll get it sorted out without breaking things.
One of the reasons I decided to migrate to Eleventy was because I never really understood what exactly was happening behind the scenes with Jekyll, Gemfiles, and all the Ruby stuff. With Eleventy I feel a bit more comfortable since it's all JavaScript. Since it's built with Node.js configuration stuff it's easier to wrap my head around. By watching this crash course and reading the docs, I managed to port it out in just a couple days. I used this Netlify Boilerplate as a guide, but I wrote everything up from scratch.
There's still some quirks to fix and stuff to add later on, but I'm super happy with how it turned out.
