• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Eleventy Splitting Category Data Across Two Table Columns

  Posted November 18, 2023  in Eleventy
  

  The Categories list on this site is getting pretty long, so one of the things I wanted to do this weekend was migrate the Unordered List (<ul></ul>) the site used today into a two column table. I asked Bard and it generated relatively useless code for me; after three tries I finally got something that looked like it would work, but didn't.

• Eleventy Date-only Filter

  Posted October 31, 2023  in Eleventy
