# heksering hey i can't figure out how to implement the indiewebring right.. i logged in with rel=me auth on the site - but i can't seem to find further instructions. i embedded the <a> link to my homepage but it doesn't seem to follow any order with the prev-next?
# [Sophia_wood] ^^I did it through fastly - figured it out

gRegor heksering, they depend on Referrer headers so if those aren't sent or don't match, it can be random. More in https://martymcgui.re/2024/06/23/ordering-an-indieweb-webring/

[schmarty] [Jo] the indieweb webring has new staying-in-order powers! https://martymcgui.re/2024/06/23/ordering-an-indieweb-webring/
# [schmarty] oh ha, exactly the link that gRegor shared. it does rely on the Referer header to figure out where the visitor is "coming from". If the referer doesn't match any active webring entry, you get a random active link.

# calebd I settled on using github pages mostly because it's free and I can add a custom url later. however, github suggests using jekyll for blogging, but that's a huge pain on windows. I'm trying eleventy rn, but it's also a bit of a headache so I'm wondering if anyone has any blogging tools they like that still allow freedom to stylize the page however I want
# [morganm]2 Others may have suggestions but my suggestion would be to make a single page of HTML and begin working on it as if it would be like a preview of what your blog website would be like. Like a landing page 📄 for what your blog will become. Eleventy is an excellent idea but it's not immediately simple how to set up a blog although there are starter projects that are pretty good
# [morganm]2 Id say make a single website page, play around with a headline or some copy, make some simple layout choices, maybe think of a name of your blog, find a good image you want to use,
# [morganm]2 Are you familiar with markdown ?
# [morganm]2 Eleventy accepts many data sources but primarily blog posts are written in markdown by many people. It's another thing in the journey
# calebd [morganm]2: I take notes in obsidian so I'm very comfortable with markdown and prefer it to any other format if possible
# [morganm]2 Ok cool your on your way :)

# calebd I apologize if this is too specific for this chat. But has anyone else had a weird issue with elevnty that github pages won't recognize it? I kinda got the hang of how it works when hosted on a private server, but github keeps trying to run the site from the root directory and not the _site directory, and when I try to change it in the github pages settings, I can only choose between the root directory and \docs (idk what that mea
# [morganm]2 Not a bad question at all, I remember encountering that issue a few times years ago, it's a limitation of GitHub pages I believe
# calebd This worked! I set up the github action to deploy properly whenever I push to main and that works perfectly and was super easy
# calebd I don't like having to use the terminal for things I know I'm gonna wanna do a whole bunch, so I'm really glad I can just push any changes with github desktop

# calebd a less specific follow up question. Is it worth it to try to start with a html or css template? I know I've said I don't want to be restricted to templates but given that I am still so new, the idea of trying to learn both languages and worry about styling and worry about scripting is a pretty daunting task. People who have built a website up from zero before: is it better to focus on functionality and style it later? Or get a dec

[aciccarello] I migrated my blog from jekyll to eleventy years ago and have been very pleased. I moved from github pages to netlify though.
