@bw When a client asks me to build a website that they can maintain, I use basic HTML. IMHO It’s easier to teach them HTML than Wordpress or other CMSs. Years later their sites are still online, updated, and I haven’t heard any complaints. Your book is likely to make my job even easier! 💻️ 👍️ 😁

@7sleepersmusic @bw That's interesting. Do you have experience using flat-file cms with markdown?

I teach Markdown to middle-schoolers when they wanna start building and find it really easy to get started. Curious about others'.

@starlord117 @7sleepersmusic This book is written in Markdown. I used Eleventy to generate the website from it.

@bw The problem here is node. It's huge and cumbersome.

@bw Thanks!
I know most of them, but that's a good directory indeed.

@7sleepersmusic @bw So much this.
We should be teaching POSSE (Publish on Own Site Syndicate Everywhere)as a communication approach, especially at a college level.
It is great to start with a simple blog, such as #bearblog but eventually everyone should be able to make a simple static site… instead of learning another CMS that will eventually enshitify.
