I’m always looking for good CSS named-colors cheatsheets or references. This one is fun. Please send me ones you know of!

Does anyone know of a good HTML cheatsheet or reference for beginners?

New blog post about rebuilding my site in Eleventy https://blakewatson.com/journal/rebuilding-my-website-with-eleventy/

JavaScribble. Summon swarms of spaghetti code from thin air and hurl them at the target of your choice. You take 1d8 psychic damage per npm module used. The target exceeds the maximum call stack and is destroyed.
Cascading Soul Siphon. Hex your target with a pseudo-class, shifting them -9999px into an alternate dimension.
Purify. Recite the incantations of the Old Ones—you and your target lose all scripts and styles laying bare your unmitigated hypertext.
After 5 years of WordPress, I have rebuilt my website using @eleventy! I've been using Eleventy for years now on other projects (including one for NASA) and I'm super stoked to be using it for my personal website.
I did a little writeup about it.

Safari devtools is not letting me uncheck or modify styles. Anyone run into this before?
I have a chicken and egg problem.
When I publish a blog article I want to include a link to a corresponding Mastodon post. To write the Mastodon post, the article needs to be live. But to publish the blog article, I need the URL to the Mastodon post. But I don’t know the Mastodon post URL until I publish it. Ahhhhh!!
Am I really going to have to deploy my site, post a toot, then turn around and add the link to my site and deploy again? Ugh, there’s got to be a better way.
This is the kind of CSS change I enjoy making. Tiny tweaks no one else will notice.
I’m writing a blog post. Do I call it 11ty or Eleventy?

Working on a post about my new website rebuild that I launched and didn’t say anything about...
The answer ended up being to use eleventyConfig.addCollection, which is counterintuitive because in my mind I’ve already “added” it.
But anyway, you can pass a callback, get all the posts in the target collection, then sort how you like.

11ty peeps, what’s the simplest way to sort a particular collection by the file slug? #11ty
It looks like my Rube Goldberg machine for updating my microblog is working. I'm going to write about it at some point.
Pardon my test post. Testing my EchoFeed webhook.
I’m playing around with EchoFeed 👀
RSS peeps: if I were to use htaccess to 301 redirect my old RSS feed to my new one, would people following the old feed still get my new posts?
