Starting the website

As I stated in the first post both this blog and the main website are using Zola as the static site generator. This is the first post about the website and how it was made.

The website and the blog now are using themes. The website has a basic Hello page is using Hallo and the blog is using Boring both which do what they say on the tin. With the website being hosted on Cloudflare Pages one of the neat features is that the website is built on every push to the main branch and any push to a feature branch gets a dev version of the site. This has some simple flaws right now as a bunch of things will break on the dev version as the website root isn't set correctly yet but I exepct to fix that soon.

For the background of the website I was able to grab the colour from the AI generated logo using Digital Colour Meter on macOS and then convert the colour to the hex code used in the theme.

These are both super simple websites and neither of them really say anything right now but what is really neat is being able to update these so easily and develop and deploy them so quickly.

Now on to the real content...
