How I Build this Website

29 Jun 2016

This website is based on Lanyon and changed the color scheme to Oceanic Next Color Scheme. The color scheme was found from Komodoide. The IDE I used for editing is Atom. I also added the read more link by the method published here.

The Following are from the original template

Lanyon is an unassuming Jekyll theme that places content first by tucking away navigation in a hidden drawer. It’s based on Poole, the Jekyll butler.

Built on Poole

Poole is the Jekyll Butler, serving as an upstanding and effective foundation for Jekyll themes by @mdo. Poole, and every theme built on it (like Lanyon here) includes the following:

• Complete Jekyll setup included (layouts, config, 404, RSS feed, posts, and example page)
• Mobile friendly design and development
• Easily scalable text and component sizing with rem units in the CSS
• Support for a wide gamut of HTML elements
• Related posts (time-based, because Jekyll) below each post
• Syntax highlighting, courtesy Pygments (the Python-based code snippet highlighter)

What's Jekyll?

31 Dec 2013

Jekyll is a static site generator, an open-source tool for creating simple yet powerful websites of all shapes and sizes. From the project’s readme:

Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory […] and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host your project’s page or blog right here from GitHub.

It’s an immensely useful tool and one we encourage you to use here with Lanyon.
