ATP Insider: Our Websites
https://atp.fm/atp-insider-our-websites
The history of our personal websites and the ridiculous systems we've built to write and serve them.

@atpfm great episode — the only question I have remaining is where do you host these sites ? And if it isn’t too nosey, what do these sites cost to host? I’ve got a basic personal site hosted at GitHub pages, so the only cost is domain renewal at about £15 a year — for somewhere I can host a CV with a static link I view that as a pretty good bargain, and when I can use it for one off utility like having an info page for my wedding it’s a steal.
Casey Liss@DrChris On a Linode "nanode" for $5/mo
sayrer@atpfm haha there are new things for this stuff. like https://astro.build/ (easiest thing is just a directory full of markdown files)
So, I think people still do this stuff.
Also, @marcoarment have L.I.S.S. clean the beer tap lines whenever they show up if you aren't already. It makes a huge difference.
@atpfm @caseyliss @siracusa Casey's website is HTML5 by the doctype.
So it's step 6 here (the “/“ does nothing and might be harmful).

DevDaniel@atpfm @marcoarment omg yes ❤️
Reid@atpfm “you could put stuff in your .plan file, and people could finger you. Kids, look it up”.
Kids, don’t look it up 😂
Will Stamper@atpfm now I need a segment of John talking about Tailwind…
Will, Fully Obtuse
John Siracusa@aroneous Not a fan, but I can see why some people like it.
joshhunt@atpfm @caseyliss was right - he does have a valid html 5 dtd/doctype, and @siracusa self-closing tag on img is fine according to spec - it’s optional, but valid

Scott Smith@atpfm @caseyliss I loved this episode and thought you might, when the itch to update your website arises, really enjoy using @eleventy. It’s a super simple static site generator and builds in most of the functionality you have. Easy to deploy on Vercel or similar too, which would streamline your deployment.
Chris Poole@atpfm Finally gotten around to listening to this one. I’m more confident than ever that I never want @siracusa reviewing my code 😆
(Also, I’ve never been more sure that you all are “my people”, as when you’re talking about Geocities, writing your own CMS’s, etc. Makes me think back my peak of having a popular script on DynamicDrive.com!)
