So I've decided to join the 90's and do a blog. I have a domain, looking for a host. Cheaper = better, up to a point. Any ideas?

Must haves:

(1) Markdown support
(2) Math typesetting
(3) Good tagging
(4) RSS support (multiple RSS feeds by tag preferred)

I've tried static sites and I've not gotten very far.

I'm open to static - that IS probably best for my needs - but DIY static hasn't worked.

Boosts for visibility appreciated.

Now the site works just fine even with #Javascript totally disabled. But if you expect to listen to my podcast using the built-in player (which is handwritten) this will not work. However I placed several <noscript> tags explaining here and there what is not expected to work without JS.

At least all the content is readable and also rendering works just fine even after stripping almost half of the original CSS.

hey digital cultural heritage bubble, does anybody know how to freeze an @Omeka instance and turn it into a static version that can be archived and made available for the long term? ideally this would not involve crawling the site, which seems somewhat error-prone…

all pointers and boosts appreciated

If you're a #javascript developer interested in @astrodotbuild, you can now get a 1-day ticket to #techbash 2024 to attend Astro for Rank Beginners, a workshop with @nickhodges.

I'm increasingly enamoured by things like @freebliss 's #Faircamp (a static site generator for audio - a self-hosted Bandcamp, if you will) and #Fgallery (a static site generator for images). I'd be interested in something similar for video content, if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm currently working on improving a Pinterest-alike, partly for my own purposes and partly to improve my Python skills. It's not static, of course, bu it's a self-hosted, small-scope thing.

Back in the day when you wanted to know about your website traffic, you'd use a web log analyzer.

I maintain a few static web sites and I'm wondering what the current best practice there is.

Is analyzing web logs still a thing people do? Are there web log analyzers that are particularly well regarded? Is there some other process people prefer now?

Please recommend a light-weight web browser for static sites with the following features:

1)Lightweight layout engine: not one of the Big Three.

2)Dark mode: I need all pages to show a dark background (preferably true black) with light text. No exceptions. If I encounter a page with light-themed CSS, I want some feature equivalent to the Dark Reader extension that major browsers have.

3)Graphical: I want to be able to navigate with a mouse, not just a the terminal.

4)Not developed primarily by a bigot. So no Pale Moon (and Pale Moon's Goanna engine isn't really lightweight, it's just slightly less heavy than the big three).

Also note that I'm specifically looking for a web browser with these criteria: for Gemini/Spartan/similar protocols I already have Lagrange.

I started playing with Statiq, a .NET static content generator. I'm working on a blog series to share my experiences. Check out my "Getting Started" post by visiting https://jasong.us/3VZBsJe. More to come!
