Setting up a blog with Jekyll and GitHub Pages
GitHub provides free hosting of static web pages through its Pages service. In this tutorial, I will describe how I set up a free developer blog with GitHub Pages and a static web page generator called Jekyll. Jekyll is written in Ruby and has built-in support for GitHub Pages.
Note to self: When something is not working, check first that there are no typos!
When coding or configuring software, there are often situations when things won’t work as expected. You can be stuck with a problem for hours without figuring out where the problem is, and in the end, something very simple usually solves the problem. This is exactly what happened to me as I tried to set up this blog site and get it built by GitHub Pages.
