#Jekyll for windows code#
Perfect! After a quick investigation, Yevgeniy’s web site code is open source, licensed under a BSD License. I somehow stumbled on a simple website and blog combo that I liked, designed by Yevgeniy Brikman authored in Jekyll specifically for GitHub.
I mean why should I re-invent the wheel when it has been done countless times. This was the primary reason for finally selecting Jekyll.Īlthough I have decent web development skills (when really required), I didn’t want to build the site from the ground up. Hugo can be hosted on GitHub, but it doesn’t automatically build and deploy the site. However, I wanted to host the website on GitHub. I dabbled with Hugo when building the Internet of Things Dunedin project website, and quite enjoyed it. However, this solution was not selected without due consideration. I ended up selecting Jekyll and hosting on GitHub pages. The blog must be simple to deploy new content.A simple, elegant and sleek personal website.
#Jekyll for windows update#
I recently had some free time during the semester break and decided to update my online presence. The most important thing, it had no blog. I mean, it is not exactly a piece of art and greatly lacked functionality. I ran with this for a while, but it was time to change. I selected a default theme, Midnight, and performed some basic customization. It was supposed to be simple, and it was. I took the plunge and developed a simple personal website using the Jekyll framework and GitHub pages as a host. It was so simple and easy, with great formatting to boot. I was writing Markdown in GitHub repository README.md files and constantly using it on Slack to format messages for the sanity of everyone. It seemed to take all the hassle out of writing HTML. It was also fun to tinker with! But the best thing was writing in Markdown, a technology that was first release in 2004, and something I only discovered in 2016-ish. The Jekyll platform really made sense to me. There just didn’t seem to be a platform that I could really sink my teeth into. I built my own static website with a blog and the maintenance was horrific! I guess that should have come as no surprise. I tried Blogger… again, I couldn’t really get into it. I dabbled with WordPress… I didn’t like it. Throughout my life, I have started and half-accomplished making a blog on various occasions.
