Ep. 3: Getting your bearings and Cloudinary Images

For our third meetup, we have Cassey Lottman showing us how to get our bearings in an existing Eleventy project and Sia Karamalegos showing us she leverages Cloudinary to make image management easier.

Getting Your Bearings in an Existing Eleventy Site

Are you familiar with other static site generators, but not Eleventy? Want to start hacking on a legacy or starter Eleventy project, or one you made yourself several years ago and haven't touched recently? Are you wondering where the important bits are? This talk will highlight core aspects of how Eleventy is configured so you get to work quickly customizing your site. We'll also go over a few things you might have missed if it's been a while since you've tried Eleventy.

Optimize Images in Eleventy Using Cloudinary
