Welcome to Issue 79 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.

A note from Bob:

For a long time, I'd been in the habit of adding posts to the database as I found them. But due to travel and a couple of other life stressors, I just started adding links to the posts in an Obsidian doc. Well, they just kept piling up and not getting added to the bundle. A few of days ago, I finally sat down and added them all. For those of you who subscribe to the RSS feed of the Firehose, on the evening of October 8th, you likely saw a flood of posts (about 15 of them) land in your feed readers. My apologies for the deluge.

One of the reasons I've been busy is that we're searching for a new home in Southern California. Over our 32 years of marriage, we've lived in 10 different houses across 3 states (CA, NJ, and WA). So, yes, this next one will be our 11th house. 11th time's a charm! And with that, it will hopefully be our last. We're looking forward to being closer to family and old friends.

If you want to skip the preliminaries and get right to the releases or the posts, or the sites, have at it.

Enjoy!

Add a CMS to ZeroPoint. Michael Delaney shows how to add a CMS to ZeroPoint, his starter project.

Peter deHaan and Nunjucks loops. This isn't new, but I came across it and found it to be a useful resource as Peter shows how to loop over various different data structures in Nunjucks. Check it out.

Dwkns debugs with a shortcode. With eleventy-plugin-console-plus, dwkns created a "plugin that adds a shortcode for debugging your templates, objects, and data. It logs to your HTML output, your terminal, and your browser console—all at once, with beautiful formatting and deep customization options."

Alex Russell performs hacks. Alex Russell shows us some fun hacks to improve performance with Eleventy. Check it out.

Simon redirects on Cloudflare. If you're hosting with Cloudflare and changing your urls from time to time, you should probably prepping some redirects so those old links don't break. Simon Cox shows you how.

Build your own Subspace. Nicholas Clooney brings us a new starter project called 11ty Subspace Builder. It looks to have some nice features.

Until next time...
