Pulling Into New Neoform City

It works for some value of working.

It took longer than I wanted, but I did get this working last night. It's still way more DIY than I really want, but I guess that's the price you pay for having something that isn't run By Others.

Today I'm going to futz with maybe hooking up a custom domain and getting git push working.

Getting the neocities push going last night was a bit of a pain because first I had to install Ruby but once I did, it more or less worked. Definitely better than uploading via the web interface which did not work the way I wanted. It's possible I did something dumb, but the drag-and-drop just did not work.

I'm still intrigued by maybe doing Digital Ocean instead. There's also Netlify, which seems like the easiest way, but had more pay-as-you-go features than I was comfortable with.

I have now installed a spell checker on VS Code, so it should not be possilbe for me to make a dumb spelling mistake again.

I need to get an Unfurl plug-in installed, but I think I should get push on commit working first.

You know, maybe I would have been happier with something like Pika?

Feeling some type of way about maybe using Eleventy Notes instead. I just want cool callouts like they show on the 11ty.dev Style Guide.

But all this is distracting me from setting up the GitHub actions like I meant to do today. Ah well, tomorrow maybe.
