This project drives my personal blog using the Jekyll blog engine with all the content hosted as markdown on Github.
I am happy for others to fork my master branch and use it to power their own blogs. Disclaimer: for most people using a hosted solution that doesn't require management is preferrable as per Troy Hunt's great post on the issue. I have previously run my blog on WordPress for years without any issue.
My reasons for this project are
- I wanted to have my content as markdown in GitHub
- I like having some 'real' projects to maintain
- I wanted to be able to easily edit content offline
- I wanted a project to use for Azure demos around topics like DevOps, containers and Azure FrontDoor
There are two main branches to the project
- master: The core website that contains everything you need to run the blog is on the
masterbranch. - adamstephensen.com - All my content is in the
adamstephensen.combranch.
You can also check out both websites
- I got the idea for this method from the old version of the Azure Docs which used Jekyll. I created this project from scratch because the old docs used very outdated versions of dependencies like Jekyll and bootstrap but I have taken the page templates and a few scripts from this repo so big thanks to the team who put it together !!!
