Motivation

This is about putting my daily experiences and code snippets in a centralized space and at the same time trying out a github hosted blog with Jekyll.

How-To

Hosting a blog this way is easy:

• Create a github repo with your account name in the form of username.github.io
• Install Jekyll

gem install jekyll
jekyll new SITENAME
cd SITENAME
jekyll server

• Edit the _config.yml to suit your needs
• Upload your site to github

git init
git add .
git commit -am "init"
git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
git push -u origin master

• Github automagically builds jekyll blogs when you push to your repos master branch.
• You’re done. So make some more posts

Check out the Jekyll docs for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll.
