Overview of what was involved

After digging through some Jekyll tutorials and documentation, we found tons of starter templates. We decided to start from one of them. For a start, we imported the theme's structure into our project. We then went on to customize the site info and write our own content (a blog post on getting started with Jekyll).

Afterward, we populated up the about tab with our own HTML components and data. This was how we tested the way Jekyll interacts with user data and custom components.

How did it go?

Pretty good! We found a very helpful tutorial, and Jekyll is overall not tough to work with.
