Setting Up The Blog
First things first
Goal: set up a blog where I can document my process
Wishlist for the blog
- To use my favourite IDE for content creation
- Minimal setup (domain, server, database, etc.)
- Possibility to tinker with CSS
Lucky me, Github Pages led me down a very pleasant path:
- Choose a theme. I chose hacker-blog because it was easy to customize.
- Fork the theme into your special Pages repository on github: yourusername.github.io
- Jekyll generates a static web page from markdown and front matter
- Follow this guide to add social media icons
