Added a /contact page to my website!
Also took the chance to create a new email account as a side task. Having read further, I’m kind of regretting it so I’ll make another one some other time.
In addition, I sent an application to Fediring and it got approved today! I also updated my info on the a11y webring. Pretty satisfied with my work! 😁
Also forgot to mention that I deleted my blog in bearblog.dev. I moved it to my website!
It doesn’t have a feed yet. It’s in the works though! Once I find how to make it using Eleventy scratches head.

Finished another large update to the website. I think I describe the previous one as the 0.5 version. Now, I feel confident this one went up to 1.0!
I added a BUNCH of new pages as well as some new navigation links. The Portfolio and Contact pages are empty but that’s okay with me.
The bulk of the updates were the slash pages and the blog. A pretty smooth sailing. I don’t feel tired or stressed from this endeavor. I even did some minor fixes I caught while troubleshooting.
The official Eleventy docs and 11ty.rocks were incredibly useful. Couldn’t have done it without them.
There are two things that aren’t quite working yet. The site doesn’t have any type of feed and the new journal page may need some work. I also want to join the Fediring.
This is totally not me procrastinating on my internship 😖.

Spent a good time just staring at my website’s Markdown version thinking of what else to add. I think I’m quite done with this update then! I can move onto the coding stage, exciting!!!
Gotta remove the projects page. Or better, create a copy, remove the git folder, and rename it as a digital garden. Then back to the original site’s copy, rename the Projects and Links pages to Portfolio and Contact. Then, add a new page called Blog and set that up!
I also wrote a few slash pages. /AI, /Green, /Where, /Uses. I also updated my /about page and edited the footer (and header but that’s implied in he above changes).
Tomorrow I might be going so I’m not sure if I’ll work in my site over the weekend or keep focusing on my internship assignments instead (OK who am I kidding I have never worked on my internship over the weekends wheeze).
Continuing to focus on developing my website. I always wanted to add a digital garden and finally decided on some way to go. I copied my website’s Obsidian vault version and renamed it as a digital garden. Not gonna focus on it too much today but I know what kind of stuff I want to add there.
The reason why I felt to do this today was because I didn’t like how the current Projects page in my website looks. I want a space to show my works in progress and because I don’t have large social media presence, I want to make my website look “finished” or at least not have too many broken pages. On a digital garden, unfinished is the point! So I will move my craft projects to my garden.
My site is now built with Eleventy and deployed with Netlify! 🎉

Started migrating my website to 11ty. It’s been going pretty smooth so far. Practice makes better!
I need to finished populating all the pages that go in the footer before focusing on all the pages in the Projects section. Fortunately, all the text can be in plain old markdown, I think. However, as I changed the format of the Projects page, I need to add pictures to each project.
Another thing I gotta fix on the site is the two header nav styles that aren’t displaying. I think it’s because of the iframe. So I want to transfer the site to 11ty because I think that will fix it. I should also check that one tutorial that showed how to code different types of header Navy depending on screen size.
