I’m pretty new to 11ty, and I’m figuring things out as I go. One of those things recently was cache busting my CSS. I’m by no means an expert in front-end development, but I figured it couldn’t be that hard to add a fingerprint hash to my CSS files to ensure changes are always pulled in by the browser when viewing my site.

I really want to be a person who dedicates time to reading more. Whether that transpires to be via audiobooks, e-books or good old analogue paper, this is the goal for 2022.

I've not written about transport previously, but it's a topic close to my heart when it comes to sustainable living. It's something I've felt a growing feeling of guilt about, as well as a nagging disdain for what our car obsession has done to our global and indeed local environment. This post explores alternatives for a better future for our local communities.
