My first blog post
Sample blog post! Sample blog post! Sample text for the sample blog post!
When I was in college I had a framed sample document, for some reason. It was a very excited bunch of text about being a sample document. It was one of my first wall hangings. I had completely forgotten about it until I typed out that first line.
This is mostly a sample document to test out the blog features of 11ty.
I gotta say, overall I've been very impressed with 11ty. It's very simple to use, it's a javascript based static site generator which I think makes a lot of sense since JS is already native to the web. You just install it with node and run it with npx, and it'll create a site in a _site directory out of any markdown, html, njk, or liquid files you have in the folder you're serving it from, preserving the directory structure you've set up. There's an optional configuration file. That's it. I don't remember exactly what went into using hugo, but I remember it being notably more complicated.
