Class recap

In our final class, we're going to learn about some cool features of this site, and then put everything together to make something cool.

Exercise 1 -- What if I don't want to write everything by hand forever?

This site uses a templating engine called 11ty or "Eleventy". It's got a lot of bells and whistles that are cool but not necessary to enjoy it's big superpower -- templating.

This page is actually using it! It's written in a simplified version of HTML called Markdown. The template takes care of most of the stuff you need on the page, and just lets you deal with the content by writing Markdown, which is easier than writing HTML.

• [ ] Find index.md That's the front page of your site.
• [ ] Find the html file that it's using as a template.
• [ ] Try to edit both to start making your home page look the way you want.

Exercise 2 -- Make a cool website

• [ ] Build! Explore! Try Things!

All your sites are connected using something Ním invented called Octothorpes. Hopefully we have enough time in class to go through how cool it is.
