The post Eleventy Women Fall/Winter 2026 at Milan…

For reasons that elude me I cannot get Open Graph tags to work when anything from this site is posted on Mastodon. I've fiddled with server configs, my aggressive robots.txt and still — nothing. They work everywhere else . So I built an oEmbed endpoint.

Now that I have several sections of this site served dynamically using PHP I've finally put together a single command to work on the site locally.

Advice to a friend: break the spell & join the independent web. ✨

My RSS feeds are generated by 11ty at build time from a Liquid.js template. When I wrote posts and link elsewhere on my site I use a bookmarklet to capture the URI for linking. To ensure I have absolute URLs in my feeds, I use a filter to convert said URIs.

When I moved this site to my own hosting I rewrote the dynamic code that had previously been handled by edge functions in PHP. To speed up build times and make things scale nicely as I add more content and pages, I recreated my media pages as an amalgam of PHP and Liquid templates that 11ty writes out as complete pages at build time.

I love automating things and — with that impulse entirely unchecked — I've written up a shell script to make setting this site up for local development even simpler.

i share how i built a fully customizable resume website with eleventy, complete with seo-friendly features and pdf generation.

I've been fiddling with this site for the better part of a year now and now that it's fairly stable, I'm putting together what amounts to a public README (or a note to self). This post is that document.

As part of tracking the music I listen to I also keep track of upcoming albums. When I add an album, I also have fields for release dates and links.

I got to speak at the 11ty meetup today about the music tracking contraption I've built into my site. I have a fairly detailed post on how I built it and another on the method I'm using to render dynamic media (read: musician/band) pages .

I was rendering about 3300 pages every time my 11ty site built — probably overkill. About 615 artist pages, 1200+ movie pages, 500 show pages, 500 for books and ~35 for genres. Whew. Build times hovered at about a minute (still very impressive!) but would only ever increase.

I have a bunch (too much?) content on this site and I use a collection containing a few child functions to aggregate all of it into a sitemap, search index and unified feed that gets syndicated to Mastodon.

I've talked about building my own music scrobbler , I've talked about improving it and I've complained about wanting to stream my own music and then I wrote a retrospective about it . I've settled on something that works, so let's look at it in a bit more detail.

At the moment my site has 6 different feeds . 5 RSS feeds, an ICS feeds and JSON versions of the 5 RSS feeds. I was asked how they're put together and, well, it's a bit involved.

I mentioned — recently — to my wife how much music data I'd incorporated into my site and she suggested I add all of the concerts we've attended over the years (she's worked at CAA, Capitol Records and other agencies and management companies — we've been to a lot of shows). I put off starting because I knew I was signing up for an archaeological dig into personal history and data. I don't have a…

Having a CMS to update your site can be awesome. It's not strictly necessary and mine is entirely over-engineered but here we are. It's helpful on mobile, it's been incredibly useful on desktop.

I had a ton of fun reading about how Melanie put together her reading page that I thought I'd write up a quick post on how I built mine.

I've spent the last, uh, month or so inching my way towards leveraging a CMS to manage the content on this site. It started with improving my self-hosted scrobbling setup, importing yet more of my personal data and then looking around at friendlier options to manage what I'd spun up.

I've expanded the media sections I already had built to include pages generated from data using Eleventy.

I wrote (fairly) recently about implementing my own scrobbler using Plex webhooks, edge functions and blob storage. So far — so far — this has worked quite well.
