How this site is built
The site was designed and built using a combination of resources and AI tools, from Claude, to Cursor, and—of course—a fleshling.
Static pages. What loads in the browser is already-built HTML and assets, not a live app answering each click from a database.
Published from source. Text and templates live in a repo; a build step turns them into the site whenever something ships.
Small surface area. Fewer runtime parts usually means fewer surprises for readers and simpler hosting.
What this document is for
It summarizes how brenyah.com is produced at a glance and where to find machine-readable feeds. It is not an operations runbook.
Built as static files
Pages are generated ahead of time and served like any other file. That keeps first load predictable, works well with caching, and fits ordinary web hosting or a CDN without requiring an always-on application tier for the content itself. The site also has some technical SEO decoration, like meta tags and the use of inter-linked pages.
How updates ship
Content and layout are edited in source form, then compiled with Eleventy, a static-site tool familiar to many front-end and docs workflows. Blog posts are written in Markdown; dates and URLs are fixed at build time. Syndication lives at the Atom feed.
Photos, styles, and scripts
Imagery is prepared so galleries and hero photos stay reasonably light on the wire. Global styles and small scripts sit in a single assets path; nothing here depends on heavy client frameworks, and the reading experience is meant to work even when extras fail to load. All images on the site are under my copyright and may not be used without prior written consent.
