Hugo or Eleventy?

  Web Development      Hugo11ty

If you’re looking for a SSG (Static Site Generator) to create a website, it pretty much comes down to Hugo or 11ty (Eleventy). The rest of the SSGs are either too old, poorly supported, or meant for creating web apps. I’ve tried quite a few of them, I found that I kept coming back to Hugo and 11ty.

Settling on TailwindCSS

  Web Development      CSS

While experimenting with various static site generators, I’ve also been learning about Bulma (a traditional CSS framework) and TailwindCSS (a utility-based CSS framework). They come at the idea of a CSS framework from two very different directions, and if you’ve seen the Internet discussions, you’ll know that opinions are decidedly mixed.

Hugo is Good

  Web Development      Hugo

This site is now running on Hugo, a popular Static Site Generator (SSG). I tried Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, and Eleventy/11ty on the way here, but settled on Hugo. It’s good!

Moving From WordPress

I’ve done it before and it looks like I’m doing it again. It’s the right time to move my personal blog from WordPress to a static site for simplicity, security, portability, and performance.
