About this website.

It's all based on something @katyhuff forked. It's called Left. It uses jekyll. It was extracted from zachholman.com. That is, we use Left to lay out this jekyll.

Left is a clean, whitespace-happy layout for Jekyll.

We forked it for the Data Analysis Tools Series, and then forked it for the Carpentries Club.

Left Licensing

The Left layout is MIT with no added caveats. Left is the work of Zach Holman @holman.
