Personal Homepage

This Jekyll website is based on the "Forty" theme by HTML5 UP, converted to Jekyll by andrewbanchich (GitLab repository)

How to use

Setup Jekyll if you want to build this website on a local machine
Modify the _config.yml to change key configurations of the website
Change the menu content in the _includes/header.html. All the static pages have been automatically added to the menu.
Change the call to action button on the banner of the homepage in the _layers/home.html
Change the text at the bottom of the homepage in the index.md
Change the call to action at the bottom of the homepage in the _layouts/home.html in section two.
The tiles on the front page are generated automatically from the static pages (e.g., 1_research.md). The metadata of the page (description, title, and images) are used to populate the tiles and the homepage
Use the _posts to write new posts for the website, as usual (TBA for the categorization of posts).

The category or tagging is implemented as follows:

A page used for displaying a group of posts (e.g., all_posts.md) contains a variable called tag_to_show in the metadata, which contains the tag to show
The tag_to_show variable is used by the _layouts/allposts.html to retrieve only posts with the required tag.
In order to assign a post to a tag, you need to define the tag variable in the metadata of a post. If you do that, everything would be completed automatically.

Types of supported tags:
