Back in 2023 I wrote about my static site and blog workflow. A ton has changed since then so I think it's time for me to update you all.
I'm gonna split this workflow into two parts:
Posts and Inspiration
When it comes to writing posts, I write them whenever I feel like I've got an idea or whenever I get inspiration from someone else.
This post for example was inspired by Manu's blogging workflow
My thought process goes like this:
- I get an idea
- I see what others have written about it
- I form my own opinion
- I write my opinion
Or if it's something personal I just mush it into words and post it.
I try to not edit stuff too much, but if I notice grammatical errors that bother me, I fix them.
My posts are currently mostly tech-related, but after reading Manu's blog on this topic I'm thinking of doing something like his Memories posts, blog posts that you just attach a picture to.
Technology
Now for the tech part of this blog.
I use the Hugo static site generator with a modified version of the hugo-bearblog theme.
Most of my posts are just written in VSCode. I do plan on looking at alternatives so I can preview my post without having to open a Hugo server, but that remains for later.
That's about it. Pretty simple and to the point. Though I always change something around, so don't expect this to be a permanent setup haha.
If you have any other questions on my workflow please do reach out via email to sheep@sheepdev.xyz :)
