C# hacker, Roslyn enthusiast, fan of HashiCorp. Father of 2. Bouldering. We're hiring! https://buddypayment.nl/careers/ https://tiesmaster.dev/ Previously, quite a lot of work went into making the site pretty. It spanned a couple of posts, to figure out what themes are, looking into galleries, to eventually going with Beautiful Jekyll. Next up, is adding a custom domain for my site. I thought, that this would be a...

My last results were that Beautiful Jekyll was probably the best candidate for the blog, and it is, as you can see. Or not, if you’re reading...

However, it turned out to be not that easy to just select a theme. Unfortunately, GitHub Pages is a bit limited in “bring your own...

I was able to do just Solution Explorer > New Post, and that worked (almost) perfectly. I just figured out, I need to add quotes around the title, but other than that,...

However, I expect that to be quite a post, so I’m going to take an intermission, and focus on automating something that’s been annoying for already a bit too much: starting a new post....

One of the most important files to adjust the site to your needs seemed to be the _config.yml file. So let’s have a look at that file, shall we? Customizing the site is actually...

However, I realized, it’s good to check-out what you actually get when you do: $ jekyll new. It’s not much, but there is a certain structure, there’s a config file, etc. This also helps when we get to themes, since...

I’ve done this a few times in the past, and the most recent one, was 4 years ago ;) I was using the same system as I’m using now: Jekyll. I don’t know exactly why that got stalled,...
