Switching to 11ty

I go through personal websites like it's nobody's business, but I am very help with the tech powering this latest iteration! I stumbled upon 11ty after reading another blog (if I ever remember which one, I'll add a link here). After playing with it, I can safely say it's exactly what a static site generator should be. Simple, to the point and a breeze to setup. For now, I paired it with Simple.css and was able to get this blog up and running in 30 minutes (editors note the blog now has a custom stylesheet)! Over time I'll build out my own styles, but for now, this works!

As an added bonus, I finally have an RSS feed! I follow so many people via RSS it's wild that my own site didn't have it.
