Building on Will Koehler’s post, I’ve taken the long way. By that, I mean I chose to personalise my blog, after all it’s an opportunity to get to know not only Jekyll, but also SEO and Javascript, it is where I intend to test out new things. So, after kinda like a robot myself, I settled on the amazing HMFAYSAL Omega Theme yet, despite the amazing design, which I could never reach by myself, the code seemed messier than my own. Though thanks to that, I get to refactor a project!
Here is the progress so far:
- Update to new version
- Font Awesome
- Bootstrap
- Simplify to Minimal style
- Navbar
- Footer
- Remove Categories
- Fix 404 Error page
- Add rake deploy by command
- Add minify and robots.txt
- Improve search - by tag, quit with esc or mouse outside
- Create about page
To Do:
- Finish splitting into assets pipeline
- Sass by sections
- JS in separate files
- Fix data Errors
- Evaluate minimal design changes
- Check cross browser
- Clean files
- Do my first actual post!
- Other stuff that I forgot
- Fix rake new post
