jekyll
After much procrastination, my blog finally sees the light of day!
After a lot of experimentation, I decided to use Jekyll to create the site. Basically, Jekyll takes your content created in Markdown and creates a static site, which can be hosted for free on GitHub.
The big advantage of Jekyll is its simplicity and performance. The only problem is installing the ruby dependencies on a Windows machine. Definitely, I think Yukihiro Matsumoto didn’t care much for those of us who use Windows. If I can leave one piece of advice at this point, if you don’t already use it, take a look at Chocolatey. It installs everything you might need on a dev machine.
After installing ruby, it’s literally 3 commands to create a site:
1~$ gem install bundler jekyll
2~$ jekyll new my-awesome-site
3~$ cd my-awesome-siteAnd to run your new site:
1~/my-awesome-site$ bundle exec jekyll serve
