Jekyll for Scientists ===================== Jekyll does a pretty good job getting your blog up and running, but its default settings aren't so great for scientists (LaTeX, anyone?). This project contains a skeleton of my blog with everything you need to get Jekyll running with MathJAX (Javascript LaTeX interpreter), LightBox2 (pretty modals for images), and Twitter Bootstrap. Setup ===== 1) install pandoc, a markdown converter that works with LaTeX $ sudo port install pandoc At time of writing this fails to install, so go to http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/downloads/list and download a working solution. 2) install ruby dependencies $ gem install jekyll pandoc-ruby 3) start up a local server $ jekyll --server --auto 4) open up a browser $ open locahost:4000
