2025-06-10 Using Nitride - Markdown - Examples and explanations of converting Markdown to HTML using MfGames.Nitride and MarkDig.

2025-06-09 Using Nitride - Entities - The continued adventures of creating the Typewriter website using MfGames.Nitride, a C# static site generator. The topic of today is the Entity class and how Nitride uses an ECS (Entity-Component-System) to generate pages.

2025-06-08 Using Nitride - Pipelines - The first major concept of Nitride is the idea of a "pipeline" which are the largest units of working in the system. This shows a relatively complex setup of pipelines that will be used to generate the website.

2024-04-21 Reflections on Nitride - I just got mfgames.com migrated over to Nitride, so a few thoughts about the previous three years.

2021-07-10 Gallium Nitride and Gemini - Last November, I switched my static site generator from CobblestoneJS (my homebrew Gulp-based one) to Statiq. There were a number of reasons, all of them still good but mainly to support what I want to do with fedran.com and my other sites. This weekend, I changed it to a new static site generator that I have written and hosted the site also on Gemini.

2020-11-20 Website Update - I've switched the generator used to create this website from Cobblestone to Statiq, a much different type of static site generator. With this change came a revamp of the site's appearance, one that is far less graphical than before, but it will allow for some future plans.
