The Klog

Getting Started

Install prereqs:

sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev

Install jekyll

sudo gem install jekyll jekyll-paginate

Developing

Get jekyll to show serve the site locally:

jekyll serve

Jekyll will automatically regenerate the site when you save changes. To see the site, go to localhost:4000 in a browser.

Adding images to a post

Images will be displayed at most 900px wide in the post. This Klog now also uses Lightbox to show images in a larger size in a Lightbox.

You may find it easiest to use the unklogger repo to create posts with images; it does the below steps automatically.

scp the images to litomisky.com/klog-jekyll-img/posts/YY-MM-DD-GALLERYNAME, where GALLERYNAME is the name of the new gallery.

In the post, set the photos_dir variable to the GALLERYNAME from the previous step.

When adding the images in the post itself, just enter the filename (no path); the photos_dir variable will be used automatically.
