Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?

Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.

What are _you_ using?

Really happy I'm adding more functionality to my tech blog: integrated Mastodon comments! Here's a preview of how it looks after some layout mods.

I'll need a Mastodon post ID in order to reference it in the Hugo front matter... so you might see me post a few toots of my older posts. :blobcatwinktongue:

Thanks to @carlschwan and his post/guide: carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/addin

I've spent the day writing a (somewhat) minimalist static website generator in #Python. It's designed to be more of a generator framework, allowing you to customize and extend it and replace parts, but in turn it requires you to write some Python.

It's still super basic, but I'll extend it over the coming weeks. And I'm thinking about publishing a series of articles during and about its development, on a website generated by it, that slowly gains features.

Would anyone read that?

I might be overdoing this whole #RDF and #LinkedData thing, but… here's the first steps with #Trinja, a RDF-to-HTML mapper and #SSG:

codeberg.org/Taganak/trinja/sr

The idea is: Use *any* resource described as RDF (e.g. from #Wikidata or an #ActivityPub action), link a #Jinja template to it or its rdf:type in your own set of statements, and there you got your visualisation!

Based on #TaganakNet, the #Rust #RDF development kit by @codecraft and me. We are collecting real-world examples at a good rate!

@HumanServitor @boostmarks idk i absolutely adore working with jekyll and have been using #SSG's for years, they are rad as hell. no attack surface from a CMS engine. and honestly i think all of mine are are served entirely out of s3 buckets at AWS. a few are front-ended with cloudflare.

being able to change the design and layout of the entire site by editing page templates used when you generate the site (i think of it as type-setting?) preview in real time, responsive image flows?😍

Hey BSSG friends!
Just rolled out a new experimental feature in the latest commit: a built-in dev server!
You can now run ./bssg.sh server to build your site and immediately preview it locally. It even temporarily tweaks your SITE_URL so all links work as expected during your local session. Options like --port, --host, and --no-build are there too.

It's still a bit experimental and relies on netcat (nc) being available on your system. I've tried to make the nc detection pretty robust, but there are so many versions out there! 😅

Would love for you to give it a spin if you're doing local development and let me know how it works for you!
Any feedback or bug reports are super helpful at this stage.
Happy static-site generating!

I fixed the YouTube embed in my Zola blog the quickest way I know -- swapping code from the After Dark theme into the Hook theme I'm using.

Yep, I should probably just rebuild the site using After Dark.

Now the video runs full frame:

zola.passthejoe.net/blog/evang

The After Dark theme gets almost everything right because the Zola developers created and maintain it:

github.com/getzola/after-dark

The Hook theme:

For folks who are using static site generators, but are self-hosting your sites, how are you handling deployment if building automatically? I've got Woodpecker CI building my site automatically.

I know I could use SFTP to push it to my web server... but am wondering if there's a more clever way to do this.

Today I learned that the Hugo documentation about hosting and deploying your web site has no section about hosting on a normal web server and deploying it with a basic (S)FTP client.

gohugo.io/host-and-deploy/

You know, in case you were wondering whether the open source mindset was still utterly fucked up in 2025. #ItIs

But sure, “don’t depend on BigCorp for your writing, make your own web site, iT’s eAsY!”
