Getting Started with Eleventy
This is a test blog post
But I'm keeping it up for reference purposes and so others can use it as a test.
Eleventy (11ty) is a simple static site generator that's perfect for building blogs, portfolio sites, and other content-focused websites.
Why Eleventy?
- Zero client-side JavaScript by default
- Flexible template languages (Markdown, Nunjucks, Liquid, etc.)
- Fast build times
- Simple configuration
Setting up a basic Eleventy site
First, install Eleventy:
npm install -g @11ty/eleventy
Then create a simple page and run the site:
echo '# Hello World' > index.md
eleventy --serve
And that's it! You now have a basic Eleventy site up and running.
