Time to scrap my over-engineered, dusty sanity.io blog for a lighter weight 11ty setup! Maybe even just a static page to start.
If folks have pro-tips or common traps to avoid, I'm all ears!
@ryan you asked for tips, so :)
* For a personal blog, make sure whatever system you set up is easy to drop notes in and turn them into posts. Adding Decap CMS to my Jekyll blog was a game-changer; I could suddenly draft blogs from my phone when I had a few minutes here or there. That outlet was really helpful.
* Also making it a delight to tinker with, whatever that means to you. I get jazzed up spinning up a GitHub codespace to touch my blog; feels like magic.
@sjkilleen Will check out Decap and other git-based solutions! Seems like there's a lot to choose from https://www.11ty.dev/docs/cms/
I do like the idea of easy drafting posts easily from my phone!
