Fun with Eleventy images

I’m currently working on two sites that both require handling images in Markdown files. That probably makes you think: “Why write about an official Eleventy plugin?” The issue is that I want to use images in a different opinionated way than the opinionated way the plugin was changed to in 2021.

Enriching Eleventy data

Almost two years ago I wrote about how I got started with Eleventy. I wrapped up the post by indicating that I’d write a follow-up explaining how I’d combined data with the front matter and content. And… then I forgot about it.

In the time since then, the project I used as an example had partially been moved back to a PHP application since I needed to capture and search data while not behind a computer. How I’d combined the data still turned out to be useful in the other projects I eventually migrated to Eleventy though.

Now and again, you encounter a song that gives you goosebumps and forces you to listen to it at least ten times in a row. And then maybe just once more.

Between yesterday and today, that was Sheryl Crow’s “Try Not to Remember” from 2006 for me.

Such. A. Good. Song.

Those strings at the end are just chef’s kiss.
