Since moving to Zola as my static site generator, I have had a nice setup for my website. However, a recent update to zola (v0.22 -> v0.23) broke my website (had something to do with the Tera templating engine that zola uses. This provided an incentive to move to a more stable solution.

My ultimate goal has always been to build this website purely with emacs and orgmode^[1], and I'm glad now that's the case. Full disclosure however, I did take the help of LLMs to implement this over the weekend. There are still some rough edges to the site, which is why I have this build on a different branch (instead of main) on my website's source repository.

The website is generated via org-publish with the following directory structure for the source code:

.
├── LICENSE
├── Makefile
├── README.org
├── content/
├── lisp/
├── publish.el
├── static/
├── statichost.yml
├── style.css
└── templates/

5 directories, 6 files

The key component is publish.el which exports all of my blogposts (which are orgmode files now) to html files. I also have the htmlize.el file hosted on the git repo for syntax highlighting.

Feel free to peruse the source code of this build if you're interested in the technical details. At its current state, I'm quite happy with how it has turned out. A nice little addition (which is the default behaviour of org-publish) is that I now have a footer entry mentioning the emacs and orgmode version used to build this website!
