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.
