The Twenty Percent

Setting Up The Blog

First things first

Goal: set up a blog where I can document my process

Wishlist for the blog

  1. To use my favourite IDE for content creation
  2. Minimal setup (domain, server, database, etc.)
  3. Possibility to tinker with CSS

Lucky me, Github Pages led me down a very pleasant path:

  1. Choose a theme. I chose hacker-blog because it was easy to customize.
  2. Fork the theme into your special Pages repository on github: yourusername.github.io
  3. Jekyll generates a static web page from markdown and front matter
  4. Follow this guide to add social media icons
