After starting and stopping a dozen or so blogs over the past ten years, I finally decided to eliminate the fancy engine and go for a static layout.
I was impressed after hearing about Jekyll and reading Tom Preston-Werner’s post. The entire system is simple: write up your article in the editor of your choice, add it to a Git repository and publish. It’s sort of like the Heroku of static publishing.
I’m keeping the ‘.github.com’ domain name for the time being, and will move to one of my true domains if the writing keeps up.
If you are interested, you can see how easy it was to construct this site by viewing its repository.
