A blog starter using 11ty and Simple.css. Based on eleventy-base-blog

Demo

git clone https://github.com/lkhrs/eleventy-simple.git my-blog-name

cd my-blog-name

Specifically have a look at .eleventy.js to see if you want to configure any Eleventy options differently.

npm install

npx @11ty/eleventy

Or build and host locally for local development

npx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Or build automatically when a template changes:

npx @11ty/eleventy --watch

Or in debug mode:

DEBUG=* npx @11ty/eleventy

about/index.md shows how to add a content page.
posts/ has the blog posts but really they can live in any directory. They need only the post tag to be added to this collection.
Use the eleventyNavigation key in your front matter to add a template to the top level site navigation. For example, this is in use on index.njk and about/index.md.
Content can be any template format (blog posts needn’t be markdown, for example). Configure your supported templates in .eleventy.js -> templateFormats.
The css and img directories in the input directory will be copied to the output folder (via addPassthroughCopy() in the .eleventy.js file).
The blog post feed template is in feed/feed.njk. This is also a good example of using a global data files in that it uses _data/metadata.json.
This example uses three layouts:
- _includes/layouts/base.njk: the top level HTML structure
- _includes/layouts/home.njk: the home page template (wrapped into base.njk)
- _includes/layouts/post.njk: the blog post template (wrapped into base.njk)
_includes/postlist.njk is a Nunjucks include and is a reusable component used to display a list of all the posts. index.njk has an example of how to use it.
