Welcome to Issue 33 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a "simpler static site generator" that is designed to be simple, flexible, and highly customizable. It is built on Node.js and allows developers to create websites by transforming templates and data into static HTML files. It supports multiple template languages, giving developers the freedom to choose the languages that best suit the needs of their project.
There is an open call for talk proposals for the 11ty conference. Here's a brief summary of what they're looking for:
We’re looking for a mix of 22-minute or 11-minute (lightning) talks on a variety of topics that will interest folks that care about the craft of building for the web: Best Practices That Work (CSS), Development Trends (e.g. Navigating the Great Divide), Jamstack, Front of the front end Development, Design Systems, Accessibility, Open Source, Web Performance (and probably some Eleventy too!).
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in doing, head on over.
On two related notes, the conference site is built with Eleventy, and second, it's now an open source project. So you can see how Zach did that cool thing with the tickets. It's really pretty neat. Note that he and Mike from CloudCannon did a video on how he did it.
I came across yet another CMS that works with Eleventy. It's called Pages CMS and it's open source. I have not tried it, but it might be worth exploring if you've been comparing the various CMS projects that work well with static site generators.
Two more things about this site:
-
Since the last post, I realized that there was another side effect of my including the full, un-truncated, descriptions for each blog post. Search now covers the full description...so there's more there...there. I particularly like the long descriptions that Cory Dransfeldt writes. I'm glad they're now searchable.
-
There's another new category...permalinks. I've got ideas for a few more...stay tuned.
That's all for now...until next time...

Weaving music data in and out of my personal website
I started integrating music data into my personal website when I added Last.fm artist and album displays to my now page. Initially, I tried sourcing artist images from a few different services, knowing that Last.fm had updated their API to stop serving them. After a fair bit of searching I found that most services that supplied artist images covered only a small fraction of my library and often supplied the wrong image when there were multiple artists sharing the same name.

Building a bespoke now-playing web component
I've long had a now playing element on the home page of my site that displays either what I've checked into on Trakt, the Lakers' record and who they're playing when a game is on or the last song I've listened to. After leveraging some new web components on my site, I decided to refactor the code powering this into a web component specific to my needs.
