I'm learning 11ty with Nunjucks to avoid copy-pasting a bunch of HTML every time I make a blog post. So far, so good (I think), but I do wish there were better documentation available. I already ran into an error, where I must have been using a reserved word, but Googling the error code didn't produce anything useful. I suppose there's something to be said for using popular technologies.

In the future, I'd also like to automate my list of blog posts. The less speed bumps in my creative process, the easier it is for me to express myself. Pagination and tags would be cool to implement, as well. I don't know how often I'll be posting, or if I'll stick with it, but it's nice to have the option.

Until then, I'll keep on updating the list manually, along with the 11ty-generated blog posts like this. There is something cathartic about building a website the old-fashioned way. I think it's been worth it to resist the urge to over-engineer.
