You can also have different <em>templates</em> for different page types (e.g. Section index, content page, etc.) and <em>Shortcodes</em> to quickly put different custom elements!</p> <h2 id="why">Why</h2> <p>Mainly it&rsquo;s just easier to write things, more like how Gemini pages are written. (I do want to put this site on gemini and may do so soon hehe) Aside from that, this website is also completely static now! (Before it used SSIs for the header and footer, which made it dependent on a webserver that supported SSIs.) With a static website, a webserver e.g. NGINX (or nginx idk how tf its capitalised) is no longer needed!</p>
