This weekend I gave a presentation on the Jekyll static site generator at MOSSCon.
In this video I explain what Jekyll is, how to install it, and give a tour of the starter site you get when you run jekyll new my-awesome-blog.
Here are the slides from the presentation.
You will learn how to:
- set up a HTML layout template
- write a post in Markdown
- build a index page with a list of posts
- set up an RSS feed
- extend Jekyll with plugins
- host your blog on GitHub Pages
