Issue 81 - 11ty Meetup recap, Zach secures Eleventy, Another v4 alpha emerges, Zach forks Nunjucks, Quesby arrives...And 9 releases, 15 posts and 18 sites to see https://11tybundle.dev/blog/11ty-bundle-81/ #11ty @eleventy @zachleat
This is an @11ty appreciation post.
It's been one year since I moved my website over to Eleventy. It's not only made it easier for me to write / publish my blog posts, allowed me the creativity to customize the site however I want (and not be forced to dig into multiple layers of settings and hope it doesn't get removed in a future update), it has sped up my website (by being a static site), and it also has zero tracking.
While I didn't publish a blog post right away about the change, I did one soon after about why I made the move, which you can read at https://gregoryhammond.ca/blog/wordpress-to-eleventy/.
Huge thanks to everyone who has worked on Eleventy, provided their tips and tricks, or just posted about it in general.

If anyone's unhappy with @WordPress's wholehearted embrace of "ai", there are a couple other options for building websites I'd like to suggest:
- ClassicPress, a fork of WordPress that removes the Block Editor and also has no interest in incorporating "ai"
- Eleventy, a static site generator with a great name and a whole lot of community support
@pjohanneson @WordPress @classicpress @11ty I vote for #11ty.
Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!
My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!
All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.

I miss the days of one single CSS file. Maybe that’s a web design challenge for me in 2026: make my website run on one CSS file again. (Ok it’s not React levels of complexity, but what are we doing here with multiple CSS files…)

#11ty people: how do you write and publish posts?
Do you do it all in your code editor, or does anybody use tools for that?
I am interested in the tool landscape!
