Website 3.0

This is the personal website of David Foster.

Why should I care?

You may be interested in reading the source code if you want an example of how a complex Jekyll site is structured. Notable features include:

• breadcrumbs on all pages
• clean URLs that lack file extensions (or query parameters)
• advanced Markdown with footnotes and multi-level bulleted lists
• deployment automation to GitHub Pages via git
• a tag index for blog posts
  • ...including anchor-based header highlighting
• building/running the site from inside Docker so that I don't have to upgrade Ruby, Jekyll, etc just to keep things running the way they always have
