Blogging with Jekyll

This semester, we’ll be blogging with Jekyll, a hacker-ish blogging platform. This is explicitly designed to get you “close to the metal,” using our coding tools for blogging, too: GitHub and Atom.

There are three Jekyll templates to choose from: * *folio * Brume * Pithy

(For reasons I didn’t have time to troubleshoot this, the week before class, the Pithy live demo doesn’t seem to be working—this is news to me as of an hour before class. I don’t know if we’ll run into trouble with this theme down the road. For now, here’s a different, Chinese (!) Pithy live demo.)

The readme file for each of these includes detailed instructions on how to get these to work. We’ll step through it together in class this first time.
