A New Static Website

Not having a blog and wanting to write something that can be displayed in a safe place creates a bit of a dilemma. This is the situation I found myself in a few weeks ago.

I had several goals for my blog:

Now that it is built, I find myself at a loss for words. My initial impulse has faded and I have this empty site that needs filling. (Actually I still have the urge to write, but I’m low on creativity.)

So, I thought I’d write about what I did to get this site up and running.

So I took a look at static design. A static site is pregenerated. Every page has already been rendered. This is the way the web worked when it first began. Static web sites can be served from free servers and can be served very quickly.

But generating everything by hand is tedious and time consuming and not fun at all. Imagine having to create a new page from scratch every time the urge hit to write. If I had to do that I’d never be able to preserve any creativity for the actual exercise–and if you were around in the early days of the web, you might remember that design consistency was the exception rather than the rule.

I can write with no distractions and I’m looking forward to having this blog ready for my next creative impulse.
