Started to blog with Jekyll
24 Nov 2013Starting a blog using the Left theme for Jekyll.
Compared to other solutions, this uses the org-ruby
parser
to export .org
files into HTML. You can check the source
for this site here: https://github.com/wallyqs/wallyqs.github.io
puts "Syntax highlighting works!"
There are still some pending things that I would like to improve:
- Use the re-org tool to create and organize the posts that
would finally go into the
_posts
directory for publishing. I think in the end using a YAML file would have been better than having to use environment variables. - Try to extend or patch Jekyll so that I can avoid having to write:
--- layout: post title: Hello world category: posts ---
And instead cover this with Org syntax like:
#+layout: post #+title: Hello world #+category: posts
Other than that, the setup promises to be very comfortable for writing, I’ll see how it goes.
