Quick summary:
- What I did:
- Built this nifty website on a budget of $0
- Things I learnt:
- How to build a static Jekyll website served by Github Pages
- How to integrate non-static functionality like comments (Disqus) and Google Analytics using third party JavaScript plugins
- That abstractions really can be used effectively with no knowledge of what is under the hood
- When was this?
- A work in progress since 2016 - a lot has changed since then
All code is available at the bakerwho.github.io repo. Feel free to fork or clone it, and play around - or check out my soon-to-follow blog.
Credit to the So Simple theme and the developers of Jekyll. I never expected building a website so be this painless (there was still some pain but much less that I expected).
