bitsgalore blog - https://www.bitsgalore.org/

Design-wise a fairly simple and basic blog that serves as a home for my writings about digital preservation and file formats. Originally built this back in 2014 using Jekyll Bootstrap and Twitter bootstrap, but I’ve tweaked the original layout quite a bit since then.

The Buckfever Underground - https://thebuckfeverunderground.co.za

This is my band’s website. I used the minima theme and moved over old content. I like the way I added an include file for images with borders and include file for adding bandcamp music player. Also I found a neat way to layout a collection of _music albums where each album contains track pages including lyrics.

This is my personal blog mainly about programming and Linux tricks.
I created it to play with Foundation framework and Jekyll, then I restarted to enjoy blogging
after several years, and from time to time I publish something.
I am also using it as my showcase for opensource applications I published on my Github account.
What also I learnt using Jekyll as platform is:

  • how to structure a blog focusing on publishing problems instead of security advisories;
  • how to integrate sass in my workflow;
  • improve the HTML 5 knowledge (through Foundation);
  • customize my pipeline with rake;
  • Liquid template language;
  • Markdown syntax;
  • some SEO rules;
  • the pleasure to write plugins with my favorite language to extend Jekyll;
  • content publishing is not stressful with Jekyll!

20 years ago I started in this domain with handcrafted html, then PageSpinner, then DreamWeaver. I knew my trusty old DreamWeaver would not work in 64 bit, so looked around. Found static CMSes, great: low attack surface. From these I selected Jekyll. Still learning, but now transition done. (Nearly) no JavaScript, Liquid found very useful for pages with repeated structure (e.g. the illusions). Not using a theme, in part because the site consists of ≈3 “subsites”. Have already received helpful tipps here, advice always appreciated.

well that was an entertaining hour of looking at illusions - pretty neat. I liked the one with the rotating RGB triangles that you could speed up and then it turned gray - even better was when they changed to CMY.

I almost forgot, but my latest blog post is about Jekyll and Algolia search integration for my BeatleTech Jekyll site, which I’m quite happy about and I think Algolia is a great option for other Jekyll sites too.

My blog, portfolio and hub for my apps. Pretty standard Jekyll theme, but with an added bonus of offline search built using the excellent elasticlunr.min.js.

Interesting …
I went a different route, by essentially building my own

Hi Paul, did your personal site move from www to non-www? I see some broken links…
