11ty blog post workflow

April 21, 2025

After realizing that I don’t need a code editor to process a new blog post in 11ty I have a new workflow:

1. Write the post in Markdown with front matter using Drafts.
2. Save as file to the Desktop, naming it with the post slug.
3. Drag the file into the appropriate Dropzone folder that moves it into the correct location in the local 11ty project.
4. Use GitHub Desktop to commit and push the changes.
