Back to HTML/CSS archive

Welcome

This is the first post in the HTML/CSS workflow experiment. My overall goal is to make some pages with HTML and CSS, first by writing them myself, then by using a static site generator that creates those files for me.

In my case, I'll be trying Python Pelican, which can turn Markdown content into a static website. After that, I'll learn more about hosting websites.

I'm trying to learn which approach works best for building a simple blog.

I'm attempting to learn workflows related to hosting a website rather than HTML or CSS itself. For more fundamental basics, check out this HTML tutorial totally unrelated to this site. Or related page: Quick intro to CSS and HTML (notes).

An easier approach might be to use some existing blog platform, but a big part of this is about the learning process.

Goals summarized

  1. Build a simple page using HTML and CSS, then build more complex examples.
  2. Learn to use a static site generator like Pelican.
  3. Understand basic workflows for hosting websites.
