Octopress

Posted on 2013-01-06   |   In Blog , Setup   |  

I never used Ruby but heard a lot of nice thing about it.

Octopress is Ruby-based blogging framework for Jekyll, which is supported by GitHub.

<!-- more --> It has several good things I like.

  1. I can write blog in Markdown format.
  2. I can have a lot of control of your blog.
  3. Using it with GitHub means you can have verison control for your blog.
  4. It is easy to insert code snippt into your blog post.

However, there are few things I don't like either

  1. It uses SASS instead of LESS. They are similar tho.
  2. It doesn't really use twitter bootstrap way to build the framework. (Well, I can change it, but it takes time. )

Here are some resource for Octopress beside the official site.

  1. Install and setup : Creating a Github Blog Using Octopress & Setting Up a Blog With Octopress
  2. Themes : 3rd Party Octopress Themes & The ultimate Octopress themes & plugins collection
  3. Plugins : 3rd party plugins
  4. Tip:
    1. How to exclude yourself from Google Analytics

2013

New year, new resolutions.

This time, my resolution is writing blog.

It took me like a weekish to figure out the whole thing with Git/GitHub/Jekyll/Octopress and customize it with my geek taste.

Not 100% but good enough for me to build this blog.

Feeling a little embarrass that I haven't learnt Git for this whole time and stayed in the comfort room created by TFS.

I guess that is why we need new resolutions to break some old habits :).

Happy new year.

First Try
