How it began …

I first heard of Jekyll while browsing through Reddit months ago and as I continue reading the comments in several subreddits they all have the same theme.

Jekyll is really good for simple static sites.

Fast forward to now. I wanted to update my portfolio and decided why not use Jekyll since its been mention many times.

To start the installation of Jekyll, I refer to its main site.

I have to say it was very simple. If you have ruby already installed. it was literally

$ gem install jekyll

*refer to the site for installation *

After reading through the documentation on the main site, I decided to use a theme called Leonids.

So far, I am pretty happy with the process and am still surprise at the learning curve of Jekyll.

For future readers, I definately recommend to use this framework for simple sites and blogs.
