@Kingfish404 nice use of tag cloud breakdown of posts.

I would prefer “Posts” title to “Archive” but that’s my taste.

Nice idea,I will change “Archive” to “Posts” at next commit.@MichaelCurrin

Jekyll GitHub Actions Quickstart - https://michaelcurrin.github.io/jekyll-gh-actions-quickstart/

Starter template for a Jekyll 4 site - deployed with GH Actions and GH Pages.

Link to the repo - https://github.com/MichaelCurrin/jekyll-gh-actions-quickstart

That project relates to the tutorial I added a while back to the Jekyll docs (check it out if you are new to GH Actions). That tutorial uses a specific Jekyll-based action. While the new site I shared above uses a generic Ruby action here. That is easy to use for Jekyll and other Ruby projects.

Jekyll update github pages without new commit

GitHub Action to update one or multiple gh-pages without generating new commit.

I’ve been working on creating free themes for Jekyll the past year :smiley: They are still in active development, and I would love feedback.

I’m also looking for active Jekyll projects to start creating a directory to help my fellow Jekyllers!

Personal Website - https://annafilou.com

My home on the internet. As of today it showcases some of my design/development projects and illustrations, has about and now pages as well as a page where I list tool/software recommendations and another with the books I’ve read and am currently reading. Kind of all over the place but that’s how I like it! Soon to be added: blog.

@pixyzehn thanks for sharing. your styling, docs and workflow looks clean and easy to follow.

Would you consider enabling Issues in settings for making suggestions?

For example you can fix up your Gemfile to lock down Jekyll and take it out of plugins.

-gem 'jekyll', group: :jekyll_plugins
+gem "jekyll", "~> 4.2"

@anna-filou An all round pleasant site to visit with attention to design. The scrolling menu is not a common pattern (hamburgers I think are main mobile menu) but it was nice to use, and fun with icons.

Works great on mobile, with JS disabled and supporting dark mode preference. I liked going through the pages and content. I like the colored tags on the feed and want to do for my own site too now. e.g. JUST FOR FUN WEB DESIGN tags.
And I learned about NowNowNow :slight_smile:

@MichaelCurrin Thank you for the comment. Hiding Issues is intentional as I try to avoid handling issues. You could open a PR instead and that is welcome😊

For example you can fix up your Gemfile to lock down Jekyll and take it out of plugins.

I removed specifying group as you suggested, but I don’t want to lock down Jekyll to make use of Dependabot when needed. This can be broken in the major update, but I plan to fix that in this case.

That I’ve inspired you to do your own site is the best compliment. :grin:

I’m not a fan of hamburger menus, because I have no idea what sort of pages a website has without tapping the hamburger icon first. And they’re typically made with JS and I wanted my site to work perfectly without it (not that I know how to write JS in the first place haha).

Thanks for your feedback, it kinda made my night. :relaxed:

I built my personal website from scratch using Jekyll. I am totally new to it and only started using it at the beginning of this year (2021). I would love to hear what you think and any suggestions you might have for improvements!

(There is no repo for the template yet, but I plan to make one.)

Great job @rhombus.

I like the Now. Reminds me to work on my own

Your site is effective on mobile and nav works without JS on mobile too. Which is great.

I would suggest adding padding around the edge of the screen on mobile so it’s not at the edge. And also styling a tags to be a custom blue and not a default blue which clashes. I’m happy to help with PRs when you share a link
