I’m so excited to publish my new #PersonalWebsite: https://sidney.me/?ref=Mastodon

I’ve spent the last few months crafting my own home on the Web, and I wanted to make sure it presented me as a *human,* not defined solely by my work as a #DesignEngineer / #WebDev.

This has also been a great opportunity to finally use #Svelte & #SvelteKit in a project. I love how easy it was to learn and how intuitive it is, as someone who started with vanilla HTML and CSS.

✍️ New post: Streams of Consciousness

A reply to @adactio’s post on why the home page of your personal website should probably be a stream of different kinds of posts.

So this time, I’m not asking you to share *your own* personal site, but to pick one of your favorite sites by others. Designers, developers, writers, bloggers, photographers, founders, podcasters – it doesn’t matter.

Who has a website that is just STUNNING and immediately comes to mind? And why? 🤗

✨✍️ New post: Updating My Site in 2023

I’ll redesign my personal website this year and will document the process in regular blog posts.

“Once you setup your domain & provider (or host/CMS), you always know where to post.

Your own site.

[…] Create first, edit for audience(s) second.

It’s refreshing & liberating.”

This Christmas break I’ve spent some time tinkering. I built my own linktree-esque link page with Astro and NetlifyCMS (https://links.petelambertmusic.com) and I spent some time on my long neglected personal site (https://petelambert.com, upgrading to @eleventy 2.0, fixing a bunch of stuff, improving typography and working on some clever CSS. Fun break from work :-) #personalsites #webdev #astrojs #ssg #eleventy
