It took me a while to be able to make this blog happen.
First, I did it with wordpress, and it worked like a charm, but wordpress’s clumsy and huge and hardly modifiable. So I wanted to change.
Through oozled.com, I found jekyll, whose “static website” appealed to me because it meant something simple without a database. I’m no developer…
But I couldn’t install Jekyll, thanks to a missing gem and some other stuff. But Octopress, a blog engine based on Jekyll, worked! 10 minutes and I was all set up.
How I did it:
First, create your username.github.io repository in github.
– Second, follow that :
octopress: setup
Third, follow that : octopress: deploying to github pages
Fourth : octopress: configuration(almost nothing to do here!)
and last : octopress: blogging basics, which will help you make a blog post.
And then, to push a new blog post, or any changes I guess :
rake generaterake deploy
Modifying/Customizing your blog:
I think that’s all I/you need :–)
