I like blogs. Blogs are one of the only suitable platforms for people to
|
|
|
|
|
|
properly present ideas. There are no character limits, the author can embed
|
|
|
|
|
|
whatever they want, and — most importantly — they can disable the
|
|
|
|
|
|
comments section. This caught my attention, so I decided to start my own blog.

Unfortunately, blogging on my plain HTML website was a pain. It needed an
|
|
|
|
|
|
update.

Multiple people had recommended Jekyll to me, and I had seen many others use it
|
|
|
|
|
|
for their websites. Making a simple blog with it seemed simple, but extending

|
it to handle a custom page for my music was a pain. It didn’t help that I am far

too lazy to learn about Ruby.

The solution was ridiculously simple: a Makefile and some Python scripts. I had
|
|
|
|
|
|
to fiddle with it for a couple of hours, but I am quite happy with the result.
