Over the years, I’ve tried many different flavors of personal website, from LiveJournal to Wordpress to lovingly hand-crafted HTML to my own weirdo hand-rolled “convert markdown to HTML using a Makefile and some shell scripts” solution. Seems like GitHub pages are the latest craze, so I thought I’d give it a whirl and see what happens.

Update: Yeah, that was fun. GitHub pages are all fine and dandy but I can just as easily roll my own. Jekyll generates a static website–so it doesn’t really matter whether I use GitHub pages or just upload it to the S3 bucket I’ve been using for eons via a GitHub workflow.
