Statically generating my blog with Eleventy
| bloggingThings will probably be a little strange on my blog for the next few days, as I've decided to experiment with statically generating my blog with Eleventy. It's a little complicated because I wanted to keep as many of my posts and category/tag feeds as possible.
To speed things up, I usually work with a subset of my posts. Generating a partial copy of my site results in 557 files and takes 3.73 seconds. When I generate the full copy of my site, it writes 13358 files in 96.73 seconds.
With any luck, I'll be able to get most of the things working before the next Emacs News post. Let's see!

I didn't have a lot of focused time on the computer - still don't - so a static site generator means less worrying about updates, attacks, or misbehaving plugins. Plus it's been pretty nice working with plain text!
