New blogpost... Another one?

Yes! it's a pretty quick one about a simple tool I found to generate collages, and using them as banners for my #blogposts!

This is day 76 of #100DaysToOffload

There's a weird bashing of "you have to write your own website theme" and it's pretty toxic.

I'm happy for you if you host your own blog using a Jekyll or Hugo theme, or heck the default WordPress one.

Because it means you're POSSE & doing indieweb. None of this gatekeeper CSS nonsense.

For the moment I've given up trying to wrestle Jekyll to ground.

Hugo installed as a snap. It took about 30 minutes to get from zero to a Hello World page. It would have taken less if I hadn't carefully documented the steps. For the moment, Hugo is my preferred option. YMMV

got tired of writing #jekyll hooks plugins to create pages during build so i started writing a router plugin...

In our continuing journey to learn to build websites using GitHub Pages, in this installment, @bart teaches us how to create our own theme with Jekyll layouts. Terminology of Jekyll is still tricky, but with some worked examples and a challenge this time, maybe it will start to cement in our brains!

You can find Bart’s fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at https://pbs.bartificer.net/pbs180

hello!

if you use a static site generator for your blog, like #Eleventy or #jekyll, AND

if your blog has a links section,

could you share how you’ve structured your link posts? i’m adding bookmarks to my website, and i think i could use a little inspiration

I've just shared a hands-on tutorial for easily creating a static website using Jekyll and GitHub Pages. No local installations—everything is done directly on GitHub!

Follow along to:
– Fork a Jekyll theme
– Deploy with GitHub Actions
– Edit the content
– Solve issues with GitHub Copilot

It's a practical intro for anyone who values simplicity, openness, and wants to build their own online presence the FOSS way.

ICYMI, some technical notes on the migration of my static #Jekyll blog from #Github to #Codeberg Pages, the new ActivityPub-based comments section (post comments directly from Mastodon), the comments bot I wrote that automates this, and how I archived the legacy Github comments.

@screwtape @Codeberg

Yea. I just moved my repos and #jekyll site from #gitlab after moving from #github a year ago. I do like #codeberg and #forejo. Much better than gitlab.

I just set up my woodpecker CI to build my site, but now realise I should just use statichost.eu instead.

@screwtape @Codeberg

There's an issue under heavy discussion at this moment as to whether #codeberg should continue with the pages service or not.
The server is apparently terribly broken and pages are unreliable.

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./Discussion/issues/124#issuecomment-3923084

The only real eu option is to use statichost.eu instead.
https://www.statichost.eu/

It's a shame. It's one of the reasons that I recently moved to codeberg. I checked the doc, it said it worked, but then to use CI you need to get approved for the purpose as resources are limited.

But really, you probably shouldn't use codeberg pages, even for your #jekyll site.

Ze spraw około-blogowych, poświęciłem trochę czasu na ulepszenie strony głównej bloga. W końcu są tam jakieś obrazki.

Pamiętajcie, że pod każdą zajawką na blogu znajdują się dodatkowe rekomendacje literatury w temacie. To jest ta jedna rzecz, która ma być unikalna dla strony głównej bloga, niedostępna na social mediach.

Dzięki za zaglądanie tu i na xiegozbior.pl! Zawsze mnie cieszy, że coś co publikuję, może się komuś przydać!

Someone's just shared an interesting probably useful tool in the Jekyll subreddit, to convert Medium posts to markdown and synch to a Jekyll blog for backup (or to migrate I assume). It looks good.

Sry to share a reddit link but it's worth it.

I kinda feel like going back to a side bar, thoughts?

In this installment on PBS about the static site generator Jekyll to create free websites on GitHub, @bart digs into the build process, and how the location, naming, and content of files automatically turn into web pages.

I justed posted this question on StackOverflow, about using YAML frontmatter variables to reference page-specific data files on a #Jekyll site using #Liquid.

Suggestions/boosts appreciated!

@bart and I take our first baby steps at creating a simple site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages in this week’s PBS. We got to install Ruby, learn about Gems and Bundler, learn about Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (Sass), install Bootstrap locally and more.
