I am on PTO for the next two weeks. Guess I no longer have an excuse to put off building a personal website

I've been posting a blog every day this year. It has been fun and stressful. But I'm in sight of my stretch-goal of ONE MILLION page views over the year. I need ~3k views per day for the rest of December. Better write some Controversial Tech Opinions™. shkspr.mobi/blogTerence Eden (@edent)Tue, 01 Dec 2020 08:52 GMT
Adding new bits to my site last night felt annoying and painful. Need to hurry and migrate to eleventy already 😅🏃♀️Carol 🌻 (@CarolSaysThings)Mon, 02 Nov 2020 10:43 GMT

This is something I strive quite hard to ensure, using tools like html-proofer and comparing against old sitemaps when I change things considerably with my site. It's also something that is quite infuriating when following links to a site that has now rewritten their URLs, so I've learned from that too!
How it started: How it's going:

If you're celebrating Hacktoberfest and looking for a friendly introduction to the festivities, come on over to the personalsit.es repo! We'd love to have your contribution, and I'm happy to walk anyone through the open-source flow 💛 github.com/xdesro/persona…henry▘ (@xdesro)Mon, 05 Oct 2020 15:00 +0000
Your blog doesn’t need my email address. You’re not that special. Especially not via a pop-up asking me to join your newsletter. Get outta here with that. Give me an RSS feed. Email pop ups are a sure fire way to make sure I close your site immediately.Matt Brunt (@Brunty)Sun, 30 Aug 2020 22:28 +0000
A super interesting idea. I've been thinking recently whether I should maybe look at making this site dynamically rendered, but still backed with my site's content being in a Git repo
Do you have a blog? 🥰 personal website where you write? 🥰 your own lil' corner of the Web? 🥰 lemme see!10.20 (@jackyalcine)Sun, 23 Aug 2020 22:59 +0000

Definitely happy to chat more on Slack / at #HomebrewWebsiteClub if you're able to join, but my recommendation is generally Hugo. Templating / documentation is not the best, especially if you're not used to Go's templating. I moved from Jekyll last year https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/01/04/goodbye-jekyll-hello-hugo/ and have found it a much better experience. It's super quick to build (even for my large multi-purpose site) and has a tonne of stuff built-in to it that makes it fairly batteries included
yay elletownsend.co.uk 3.0 is LIVE✨😊🎉💫 It now has a dark / light mode toggle, a complete re-brand, and more emphasis on things I'm currently focusing on! Hope you like it, bc I do🙌.Elle Townsend🌸 (@_elletownsend)Fri, 24 Jul 2020 13:12 +0000

I moved from Jekyll to Hugo cause of speed and massively recommend it. It's a bit painful documentation wise / if Go's templating isn't your cup of tea but I could see it being one of the longer running static site generators
All this isolation has meant I have been able to focus working on some other things I enjoy. I'm working on a little learning project with SwiftUI and I'm going to be documenting things that are useful to know, like ViewBuilders, here: houman.codes/posts/swiftui-…Houman Brinj (@houmanB)Mon, 11 May 2020 19:28 +0000

I really enjoy my personal website - it’s a great way to develop both technical and creative skills, and build up a digital home for projects I’m proud of. Recommend!

My #PersonalWebsite is https://www.jvt.me and as I'm very into owning my own data and being part of the #IndieWeb, I'm replying to this tweet from my website!
Site itself is Hugo and hosted on Netlify
And for folks who've rightfully come out of Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts wanting to start blogging, there's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham which is every other week (online) and is a great space to put two hours aside to blog / work on your website

It'll be of no surprise to any of you who know me as a #PersonalWebsite and #blogging advocate that I would be very much looking forward to Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts this Thursday! And as it's remote, hopefully more of you can join!
This week we're running our first remote #WiTNotts and we'd love to see you there! Webcams at the ready, we've got @paulienuh talking to us about #blogging then we're going to have a little birthday celebration as we turn 4! 🎂🎉🎙️📝🎈 Full details 👉 nott.tech/wit-aprilWomen In Tech, Nottingham 🌈✨ (@WiT_Notts)Mon, 30 Mar 2020 12:16 +0000
I'm using Hugo and Netlify, backed with GitLab CI. Because I own the platform that is my site, I can do funky things like reply to this tweet directly from my website!

I'd thoroughly recommend self hosting - I use Hugo and Netlify for mine and it works really well. It's also got the bonus that because it's my own site and platform that I can use it as I want, such as replying to your tweet from my website

In this 9 minute podcast, Craig Burgess speaks about how he wished he'd got started on his #PersonalWebsite and doing more #blogging early on in his career. Craig also speaks about the #IndieWeb and why everyone should get involved.
This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.
I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.
