Small changes to the blog.

Published by Colin on 5th February 2025.

I just switched this blog from using a dynamic Django-based solution to running as a static site using Eleventy.

I mainly did this in anticipation of some further changes to come. But, basically, I needed something simpler that would encourage me to post more often.

Considering the state of social media and the internet in general, I want to move to publishing on a platform I own, not one I rent or borrow.

Having to go into an admin interface and make a bunch of choices was too much of a barrier. Now, I just have to dump a markdown file into a directory, and it all gets published automatically.

As far as the visitor-facing aspect goes, nothing much should change except being a little faster. If you're reading this via RSS you may see older posts show up again, sorry about that.
