🔧 Configuration
Critical .eleventy.js Config
The .eleventy.js file contains critical passthrough copy settings from Gemini:
eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("src/css");
eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("assets");
Without this, CSS and images won't copy to the build!
✅ What's Included
- ✅ Complete layout system (master + head + footer)
- ✅ Homepage with hero and path sections
- ✅ Fire/Frost/Arcane branding colors
- ✅ Responsive footer grid
- ✅ All social links from Ghost
- ✅ Clean URLs (no .html extensions)
