So, finally it’s done! The time is 0100 hours now.
Finally I have installed Jekyll. I have a working static blog on my local machine as well as on remote github repository, github.io/abhishekp1996/
Now, I am actually quite happy about it. Having heard of Jekyll name from a long time now, I couldn’t resist to rock with my own blog. I have seen many live examples of Jekyll based blogs and now it was time for mine.
Without much knowledge of cmd commands, even the basics cd, I landed onto tutorials that were way too brief. I did install Jekyll, but the broken Jekyll. I searched internet for how to fix and because of the lack of shell scripting knowledge, it was difficult for me to continue… and therefore I gave up.
I did came across Jekyll few months later, and again few unsuccessful tries.
This time, I finally decided “Once and for all”. And yes, I did it. But, there was an update in me. Now I knew git, cmd commands, had a prior npm experience. So it all helped me to set up first static blog.
It seems a milestone to me. I am not a programming wizard, just above average. So yes, I too get happy when I do something sort of genius things, like the Jekyll installation.
Hope I am going to continue this blog till the end of my life.
Tomorrow, I will design a new theme for it. Add up with more stories of my life. My projects and everything worth sharing.
Have a great day!
