Leadership Under Fire
Big Bang did happen.
Progress?
They scraped the blue,
and peeled the reds and greens.
In place of brown, now grey.
More more yelled them!
We’re painting bricks,
and sculpting towers,
to the one who dictates.

Why I use Zola.
Zola is a static site generator written in Rust. I wanted to bootstrap this personal blog and host it cheaply on a CDN. I shortlisted Zola for these reasons:
- 7.1k Github stars assured me this wasn’t going to be a fly-by-night hobby project.
- A single binary file that I could simply
sudo dnf install zolaon my Fedora PC. - I hacked out, in no time, this blog website by just following the Get Started tutorial.
- The Documentation looked slimmer than Hugo’s, which indicated a less complicated system?
- Support for
{{ shortcode() }}and syntax highlighting. - When writing markdown, double space at the end of sentence will produce a line break
<br>.
If you wanted to include your blog posts on the home page, use this snippet in the index.html template:
{% block content %}
{% set posts = get_section(path="blog/_index.md") %}
{% for page in posts.pages %}
<article>
{{ page.content | safe }}
</article>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock content %}
There’s more to Zola that I’ve yet to delve into.
