Build a Minimalist Blog
01 May 2014##Purpose of this blog
I am currently working on projects in the Odin curriculum .
This website serves two purposes:
- Record my thoughts, implementations, and walkthroughs of some of the Odin projects.
- Practice writing about coding and technical issues.
##The Tools
This website was created with the following tools:
- Github pages - host directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live.
- Jekyll - blog using beautiful Markdown syntax, and without having to deal with any databases.
- Poole - provides a clear and concise foundational setup for any Jekyll site. It does so by furnishing a full vanilla Jekyll install with example templates, pages, posts, and styles.
##Build your own github and jekyll website
Read a great step-by-step guide here. It took me an afternoon to get it set up and deployed with disqus comments.
##Using Markdown in text editor to write posts
An example of using markdown/text editor to write this actual post.
