@neauoire I'd be curious to hear how you personally handle stuff that's shared between pages, like nav. Build step for that? Manually duplicate?

@spiralganglion that's situation specific, and per-person's abilities specific. But, if I had 10 pages? I'd copy/paste the header/footer, or use a frame.

@neauoire @spiralganglion we started with the former but the maintenance of the shared elements of raw HTML became problematic over time and we landed on an annoying markdown-to-html toolchain. There are lots of benefits to both!

@pvh @spiralganglion Yeah, I'm not saying this scales or is a silver bullet, but there's a threshold where the scaffolding for hosting very little content gets in the way, especially at the start when someone is creating their personal website from the ground up.

@neauoire @spiralganglion the really nice thing about PHP was that it had a great transition from "just plain HTML" to more complex stuff. I miss that.
