The Institute for Niftiness and Flexibility

¿Por qué no los dos?

A solution so obvious I almost got out of bed.

As I tossed and turned last night, I had the realization that having multiple sites means I can have multiple installations of Eleventy. So, for instance, I can try Eleventy Notes on the Film Festival site. Then if I really like it, I can switch easily enough. That was exciting enough I almost got out of bed to mess with it.

But first, I really should get the automation working. And get a footer thing going here.

It annoys me that VS Code, Prettier, or something interprets a Markdown <hr>, i.e., ----, as demarking frontmatter, so it turns the text yellow in the editor. ANYway….

Oh, I was supposed to get unfurl working too. Nuts.

Be careful about using malware scanners, yeah?

Horrifying to realize there's a misspelling in the name of the site, not just one place but buried into the configurations and even the name of the root directory of the repository. Fruitless searching for a way to just tell git the root directory has a new name, including a catastrophic try with filter-branch which I was lucky didn't wipe everything out irretrievably. (When it says don't use this, CTRL+C and use filter-repo instead BELIEVE IT. Also, make a scratch monkey first.)

Anyway with love in my heart and fiery death in the sky, I decided a couple of days worth of dumb commits wasn't worth the heartache, so I just Remove-Itemed the .git folder and started over.

If I am reading this in a couple of minutes, that means I got Github Actions working to deploy to Neocities.

"Hot damn!"

Well it took a herculean effort, mostly because git was extremely uncooperative about moving the images, but I fixed the Pizza Procedure to work local. About to find out if it's really fixed.
