Starting Over

Well hello there! Welcome! Or welcome back!

Anyway, as the post title states, I've decided to go nuclear and start over with this site/blog/whatever you want to call it. Until now, I'd been using ClassicPress and wanted to switch away from it since it's very much overkill for how much (or rather, little) I post.

I started looking at Eleventy since that seems to be all the rage these days, and I was pretty sure that I was going to end up using it, but then I realized that it is ALSO overkill for this simple site.

So... what to do?

Time to get back to my roots, baby 🤘

That's right, that means there is no CMS, no static site generator, and no build system 😱

In fact, there's nothing being used except for plain ol' hand-written HTML, CSS, and Javascript. And let me tell you, it's freakin' liberating. I'm absolutely loving it. I even re-wrote my weather script, which was previously written in PHP, in Javascript so I don't need PHP.

So there ya have it. Straight up hand-coded pages, scripts, and styles. It doesn't get any more IndieWeb than that.

Stick around, it's gonna be an adventure!
