Hey guys, I'm looking for a journaling like theme for #hugossg #hugo #jekyll or #zolassg or in the last case #PelicanSSG
There's an issue under heavy discussion at this moment as to whether #codeberg should continue with the pages service or not.
The server is apparently terribly broken and pages are unreliable.

The only real eu option is to use statichost.eu instead.

It's a shame. It's one of the reasons that I recently moved to codeberg. I checked the doc, it said it worked, but then to use CI you need to get approved for the purpose as resources are limited.
But really, you probably shouldn't use codeberg pages, even for your #jekyll site.
figured out a way to embed masto / gotosocial custom emoji in any #jekyll page!
- download the custom_emojis.json for your instance (on GTS this currently requires a token with admin read scope) https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/custom_emojis/
- use a script to download the images locally to their shortcodes, here's one i wrote in ruby: https://miyaku.media/downloads/masto-emojis-dl.rb
- install emoji_for_jekyll and point emoji-images-path at the emojis you just downloaded: https://github.com/yihangho/emoji-for-jekyll (won't work with github pages auto-building sites, maybe you can figure out getting jemoji to work with this instead)
- now you can use emoji :shortcodes: anywhere in your jekyll site or blog and they'll get turned into images with an .emoji CSS class! 
I’ve been working on a #blog using #jekyll and it’s been really pleasant so far. I’ve really had no practical experience with any #web stuff at all, it’s always been infra and operating #backend systems. I decided to challenge myself to just use #vim for this and I have to say now that I’m working through the theme/design portion I remember why I swap to vscode. When there’s several files/dirs scattered around I could never configure vim in a way that worked for me. Feels silly, but it’s true.
After trolling through many tags and lists trying to see what folks enjoy for #smallweb site generators and frameworks seems like good old dusty #jekyll and #nginx is probably as good as bet as any. One constraint thats not implicitly met by Jekyll is no javascript, but that’s reliant on themes.
For hosting.. probably just find something reasonable through #lowendtalk since I’ve been unable to convince #linode my account from > 10 years ago is actually mine.
Someone's just shared an interesting probably useful tool in the Jekyll subreddit, to convert Medium posts to markdown and synch to a Jekyll blog for backup (or to migrate I assume). It looks good.
Sry to share a reddit link but it's worth it.
Empowering Digital Collections: How CollectionBuilder Revolutionizes Metadata-Driven Websites
CollectionBuilder is transforming the landscape of digital collection management by leveraging modern static web technologies. This open-source framework empowers libraries and museums to create dynam...
In this installment on PBS about the static site generator Jekyll to create free websites on GitHub, @bart digs into the build process, and how the location, naming, and content of files automatically turn into web pages.
Can someone point me to an explainer on what is happening in the #Hugo SSG (Static Site Generator) community? I hear stuff about "pay for features" but 'm not really sure what is happening. (FTR, I still happily rely on #Jekyll for my sites, but am always willing to try alternatives and Hugo was obviously a possible choice)
@bart and I take our first baby steps at creating a simple site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages in this week’s PBS. We got to install Ruby, learn about Gems and Bundler, learn about Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (Sass), install Bootstrap locally and more.
@ifixcoinops I know a good #jekyll dev who is going to be doing that on #fiverr for some extra monies...so that dev is saying "yes"!
New blog post: This post has been generated with Eleventy
Migrating from #Jekyll to #11ty @eleventy, and my impressions after using both static web generators. https://lamaquinadeturing.su/en/2025/02/this-post-has-been-generated-with-eleventy/
Hey, anyone looking for a #website, either #personal or to house an #academic project? @RyanChartier builds and maintains #MinimalComputing sites that run on #Jekyll - they are #secure, #EnergyEfficient, and don't rely on #plugins owned by other corporations. Check out his site at https://blog.ryan-chartier.net/ - he built my website and then handed me the reins and I'm very happy to have full control over my official page.

I love #11ty but the feature(s) I miss the most from #Jekyll the most is how seamless and easy it was to have headings with anchors, a TOC, and footnotes. In 11ty trying to have all three consistently leaves me with confusion and giving up on my beloved footnotes. #builtwith11ty #BuildInPublic
