My Blog
Usage
- Install Jekyll:
gem install jekyll - Run the jekyll server:
jekyll serve -w
Creating new posts
ruby new_post.rb 'POST NAME'
You should have a server up and running locally at http://localhost:4000.
Customization
Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in _config.yml. That's where we'll pull your name, Twitter username, and things like that.
There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:
- CNAME: If you're using
this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name, you'll want to change this
to be the domain you're going to use. All that should be in here is a
domain name on the first line and nothing else (like:
example.com). - favicon.ico: This is a smaller version of my gravatar for use as the icon in your browser's address bar. You should change it to whatever you'd like.
- apple-touch-icon.png: Again, this is my gravatar, and it shows up in iOS and various other apps that use this file as an "icon" for your site.
Licensing
This is MIT with no added caveats, so feel free to use this on your site without linking back to me or using a disclaimer or anything silly like that.
If you'd like give me credit somewhere on your blog or tweet a shout out to @holman, well hey, I'll take it.
