How to Build a Low-tech Website? (solar.lowtechmagazine.com)

Low-tech Magazine was born in 2007 and has seen minimal changes ever since. Because a website redesign was long overdue — and because we try to practice what we preach — we decided to build a low-tech, self-hosted, and solar-powered version of Low-tech Magazine. The new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.

I even got into dithering images.

How has this been going? I've been messing around with imagemagick this evening and haven't gotten really close to the kind of dithering I see in their images.

So far I'm using convert -monochrome -ordered-dither o2x2

I use didder, so I’m not sure how the commands would translate, but there is an example code on the didder manual that spits out almost exactly what is on the magazine’s solar site. The manual has an example image for you to play around with as well.
