My Personal Website

This repository contains my personal website and blog https://www.blami.net/. It is hosted here on Github Pages and powered by Jekyll.

Development

These are notes for me how to get things running locally as I don't use Jekyll that often.

Setup

To setup environment for both blogging and developing blog following is needed, assuming development on Ubuntu (or WSL with Ubuntu):

% sudo apt install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev bundler
% git clone git@github.com:blami/blami.github.io.git blog
% cd blog
% bundle install
% bundle exec jekyll

Templates

Page templates are in usual location _layouts/. Most of them inherit _default which is main for both condensed and non-condensed pages.

Navigation

Navigation menu is handled automatically by looking at all pages that have following properties:

group: nav - page must be grouped in nav
menu: <title> - page <title> will be shown in navbar
order: <n> - pages in nav will be sorted using <n>

NOTE: Hamburger is kinda weirdly placed but I like it that way.

Themes

Themes are implemented as bare CSS style color changes (they are color schemes in fact) and all live in _css/themes.css. Theme toggling happens by setting theme-<name> class setting on body element. This is persisted in localStorage locally on client.
