Hello World

Well this is new for me :D After a brief flirtation with Zola, I am now using Eleventy and am happy with it.
I quite like this theme, but I will still need to keep tweaking the templates for it to make it look and function as desired. I may also add some sounds for link clicking and 404. And change the mouse cursor :D
Not entirely sure what I will do with this, or if anyone will ever read it, but it will be a fun project to likely abandon and forget about later :D
I'm not unfamiliar with markdown, but it's not something I use often, so I can at least practice it here and see how the theme effects certain content. I can always come back to this file to see how to/not do certain things.
As far as text formatting, bold and Strikethrough work but italic just adds slashes. Doesn't seem to be supported by the DOS Font. Maybe due to kerning
There is an image filter that reduces the colorspace for an old school aesthetic which is cool, but in some cases it may be desired to override it:
Let's try a multiline code block:
var foo = function (bar) {
return bar++;
};
console.log(foo(5));Will try adding a scrollbar eventually.
Lists...are less than stellar:
- Unnumbered lists
- just indent
- with no bullet points
- and when nested
- just indent more
- Numbered Lists
- Don't show numbers
- Which is kinda pointless
Blockquotes seem to work fine, though
nested ones too :D
Tables likewise look like shit:
| Column A | Column B |
|---|---|
| Row 1 | Text Goes here |
| Row 2 | test goes here |
| Row 3 | Longer text goes here |
As far as publishing, I am quite fond of the simplicty of using git, but will use cloudflare pages instead of github pages. For one, it allows a private repo to be used, and secondly i can poinnt multiple domain names to it, both things that github does not allow (at least on free plan)
And its nice (and far more secure) to not need a database or server side scripting and still have bloglike features. The javascript client side search is broken but it was working earlier.
Anyway, that's all for now, many things to fix and break.
