I wanted to share a little about another project I have worked on, which also uses 11ty. I was looking up someone's list of links, which they had built with something along the lines of LinkTree. As I did that, I thought of two things. First, I wanted to set something like that up for my links, though I didn't particularly like the look of the particular page I was viewing. And second, I wanted to figure out how to do it myself for free, while also not piggybacking off a proprietary platform.

In part 2 we set up the folder structure in my blog project and configured the `eleventy.config.js` file so that we can pass CSS and other files through the parser for use by the templates. Now we get to move on to the concept of layouts.

In part 1 of this series, we got to the point of having basically an empty shell of a website. It's accessible via a URL on the public internet, and we can also run it locally on our machine, but there's not really anything in it. So the first thing we want to do is set up the file structure that will power the site.

This entry will cover creating the 11ty site and connecting it to Cloudflare Pages so that it's viewable publicly. This will consist of creating the GitHub repository, syncing that locally, installing 11ty, then creating the Cloudflare Pages config.

Today I am starting a new series on moving my blog to 11ty. I stumbled across 11ty a couple of months ago and was intrigued. And there were a couple of things I wasn't quite happy with regarding the site configuration in GitHub Pages, so I wanted to rewrite it anyway.
