Overview


I am not a big fan of static websites. I used Jekyll for this website since it removes some of my key irriations. For example, templates can be used to add in modules and generate post pages. The greatly reduces the amount of repetitive tasks. Overall, I would say Jekyll is a nice templating system and I think I might like the use of Liquid templating language over similar systems like Jinja. I'm not sure how I feel about the mix of markdown and HTML to generate the pages. The original theme can be found at hydejack.com.
