Over the past 6–10 months or so (it’s hard to tell exactly), I got inspired by @veronica and built a static site using @11ty. Since I’m not a native speaker of web development, it was an uphill battle at times, but it was so rewarding in the end. I did need to make use of a community template as a framework, and I settled on Brewventy by @cyberseckyle. I am thankful to be able to stand on the shoulders of these giants. And, as is customary for a new blog owner, I had to write a blog post about it!

P.S. I’m still new to this “social media” thing, so I don’t know if it’s cool to @ random people on the internet (sorry).
