Putting my unemployment to good use and getting another personal project out in the world:

I made a template to help people quickly set up personal websites and blogs with 11ty!

Available for free, but a few bucks wouldn't hurt if you've got 'em!

If you end up using the template, I'd love to hear how it goes!

I actually used this template when I was setting up whatelseison.net, and it made it super fast and easy to get started and focus on the actual design and content of the site instead of getting bogged down in all the setup.

So that was very gratifying!

Run a few commands, drag and drop a folder, edit a few fields, and you've got yourself a website!

Includes a (hopefully) easy to follow PDF guide to walk you through every step of the process!

the best part of having a blog is thinking "I can wring a few sentences out of this idea" and writing five paragraphs

Thank you everyone for being very nice about the new site! Been really missing Cohost given the time of year, so I'm glad I could put something new on the web today.

lil easter egg for an old pal

Screenshot of the What Else Is On website. A small reddish dot can be seen amongst the mouse cursors in the background.

Slightly zoomed-in screenshot of the What Else Is On website. A small reddish dot can be seen slightly more clearly amongst the mouse cursors in the background.

More zoomed-in screenshot of the What Else Is On website. A small reddish dot can be seen slightly more clearly amongst the mouse cursors in the background. It looks almost like a bug.

Even more zoomed-in screenshot of the What Else Is On website background. The small reddish dot next to one of the mouse cursors is definitely a bug of some sort. But also an egg?
