The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

Note to self: Learn more @gohugo which makes things like this easy (when you know how)

2nd note to self: Branch deploys on @Netlify used to feel like a luxury. Now I can't imagine being without them. https://twitter.com/philhawksworth/status/952147565113376768

@AndiSmith @GoHugoIO Solved. (thanks to a helpful hint from @brycekahle)

Now my multi-paragraph summaries are properly formatted. From this:

to this:

@ChrisFerdinandi @zachleat Gotcha!

It sounds to me like some case studies on how and why @smashinmagazine moved all their membership content, subscriptions, identity, and ecommerce to #JAMstack on @Netlify could not come soon enough.

@megatomche @GoHugoIO @Netlify Nice!

Good tip about putting the @GoHugoIO version in your netlfiy.toml. And noting that you could even run different versions for different build contexts if you were developing against a snazzy new version that you're not yet ready to use in production

@ChrisFerdinandi @zachleat Even so, I'm looking forward to seeing how you got on dabbling with static sites :)

Also interested to learn what you're using WP to do which can't be done on the #JAMstack.

One of these days we'll get to have a proper chinwag about the possibilities, limitations and surprises.

Delighted to see how @austintexasgov is avoiding vendor & technology lock-in by exploring #JAMstack & #HeadlessCMS approaches to managing & publishing content.

This thoughtful article by @MateoClarke nicely shares the thinking behind that. Looking forward to seeing the progress. https://twitter.com/MateoClarke/status/951130759322095617

@calavera @Eiskis @Netlify @contentful I trigger lots of builds for one of my sites though @contentful. Although @Netlify's build scheduler is smart, my build notifications felt healthier after configuring Contentful to fire the build hooks only on publish events, instead of saves (which were after most keystrokes)

@MikeRiethmuller @GoHugoIO Yeah. I define where it splits by using a comment as per:

https://gohugo.io/content-management/summaries/#summary-splitting-options

I guess I could create a macro which derived .NotTheSummary by subtracting .Summary from .Content ... but that feels a bit heavy handed as it seems like a variable which might already exist.

@AndiSmith @GoHugoIO I write a meta description in the front matter, but ideally I want the content all to be in the body of the source files. More flexibility.

As a stop gap, I do indeed style the first paragraph with css. But some summaries span more than one para or include an image.

Question for the @GoHugoIO people out there. Try as I might, I can't find in the docs and easy way to get *everything but* the Summary of a page's content.

I want to style the Summary differently from the rest of the Content of a blog post.

Am I missing something obvious?

@HeyDesigner A good companion to https://www.staticgen.com/ which lists (oh so very many) static site generators. Glueing the two together with some good automation can really make #JAMstack sites fly!

@bunch @RGA @warriors I can't believe that my "through thick and thin" love for the @warriors never landed me on a project for them while I was at @rga. I would have commuted from St Albans daily to get a sniff of that gig.

@yoavrheims @Netlify A quick clarification about the 3 deploys per minute - it applies to API-requested deploys, and not anything triggered by webhooks or continuous deployment (where the majority of deploys get triggered). So it's unlikely to ever be a ceiling you'll bump into.
