What I Use

Here in no particular order are the tools I use. (Remember the Tools-Dont-Matter).

Websites

  • My main site is built with Eleventy and written in Obsidian using markdown. The site is hand coded, with Sakura CSS used as a starting point.
  • The notes subdomain is written in Obsidian, then built with Jekyll using <a href=“https://digital-garden-jekyll-template.netlify.app/”>this digital garden template</a>.
  • Both sites are hosted as separate repositories on GitHub pages and built using Netlify.

Writing

  • I use a single Bullet-journal to capture everything- thoughts, dreams, tasks and poems.
  • Months later, poetry is typed up into Obsidian. This gives me a chance to edit it with fresh eyes.
  • I also perform poems at Open-Mics and [[ slams ]] or read them out loud and edit afterwards.
  • Snippets and ideas go into The-Spark-File to compost.
