• Timezone Fix for the Eleventy Stats Plugin

  Posted Sunday, January 12, 2025 at 08:10 AM  in Eleventy
  

  AI Generated   I noticed a bug in my Eleventy Plugin Post Statistics where posts published on January 1st were counted as being published on December 31st of the previous year. The issue stemmed from the plugin converting dates to UTC. To fix it, I added the timezone offset to the date values, converting them to the local time zone. I also had to adjust some code to resolve a TypeScript compiler error.

• Eleventy Post Stats Plugin Broken

  Posted Saturday, January 11, 2025 at 08:11 PM  in Eleventy
  

  AI Generated   I started blogging in 2025 and noticed a problem with my Eleventy Plugin Post Statistics. The plugin doesn't include posts published on January 1st in the statistics.

• Eleventy 3 Upgrade Fixed

  Posted Monday, December 30, 2024 at 11:05 AM  in Eleventy, Static Site Generators
  

  In my Eleventy 3 Migration post yesterday, I described a process I used to migrate several Eleventy sites from V2 to V3. As part of that process, I was able to skip some important upgrade/migration steps because my development and deployment environments run Node.js version 22. Specifically, even though Eleventy 3 expects all modules to use ESM, a feature in Node.js 22 allowed my sites to build and deploy successfully without it. This post describes how I completed the successfully migration to ESM.

• Eleventy 3 Upgrade

  Posted Sunday, December 29, 2024 at 10:11 AM  in Eleventy, Static Site Generators
  

  I run quite a few sites on Eleventy; you can see the complete list on this site's Sites area. The Eleventy team released version 3.0 a while back and I finally got around to upgrading some of the sites. This post describes the process I used to migrate a couple of the sites.

• Adding Sidebars to an Eleventy Site

  Posted Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 02:43 PM  in Eleventy
  

  I decided recently that one of the things missing from this site was the ability to have call-outs in the content. My buddy Scott Good was here this weekend working on something in my workshop, so, while we waited for some glue to dry, I asked him to add some call-out CSS to the site. After he left, I added some code to the site to make it all work.

• Added Timestamp to Posts

  Posted Sunday, April 7, 2024 at 07:08 PM  in Eleventy
  

  In my previous post, I described how I updated my Eleventy New Post utility to add a timestamp property to new post's front matter. With that in place, I updated the site's Home Page, Articles Page and at the top of every Post. I encountered a little issue with that implementation related to time zones, so I decided to dig deeper into the implementation on this site and how I solved the time zone issue.

• Added Timestamp to My Eleventy New Post Utility

  Posted Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 08:10 AM  in Eleventy
  

  A user of my Eleventy New Post utility submitted a feature request yesterday suggesting I add the post's timestamp to the generated post instead of just the date.

  Posted March 24, 2024  in Eleventy
  

  I'm building a new web site for a software company I created using 11ty, and one of the things I want to do in this site is have the Products menu item open the product page for the first product in a sorted list of product pages.

• Updated Eleventy Future Post Plugin

  Posted January 11, 2024  in Eleventy
  

  In yesterday's post, I announced my Future Post plugin for Eleventy and mentioned that I didn't configure the plugin so it would render posts with a future date when testing the site. Since then I found some time to look at the implementation for that and decided to go ahead and add it to version 0.0.2 which I published today.

• Hiding Future Posts in Eleventy

  Posted January 10, 2024  in Eleventy
  

  Describes how to hide posts with a future publishing date in an Eleventy site.

• Updated My Eleventy New Post Module

  Posted December 30, 2023  in Eleventy, Node.js
  

  When I published my Eleventy New Post package, it only supported selecting a single post category. That approach was fine for a while, but I noticed that I started assigning multiple categories to posts recently and the utility wasn't helping me as much as it could.
