Moving to Jekyll
When I started the world’s most infrequently updated blog I chose to use Adam Wiggins’ scanty framework as a base. My main motivation was really just to build a site using ruby, which I’d just started learning. It’s been a decent choice, and I enjoyed working with it, but it’s now time to move on.
I’ve been increasingly attracted to hacker’s favourite Jekyll, which builds a blog into a static site that can be deployed on github pages. I used it for a project at work, loved it, and have decided to port this across. For the moment I’ve lost a few things, such as my cool tag cloud. But I’ve gained something that’s easier to manage and update, and I’m having fun with it, which after all is kind-of the point.
