Jekyll blog

[brianbancroft]

Hi there,

I think you have a lovely thing going on here, and I'd love to contribute the basis of a Jekyll Blog for these lists. I've been able to test this using Ruby V 2.3.1.

To Duplicate this development environment, here is a list of things you can do. I'm going to assume that you haven't done any of these things but it's likely you're already a few points down on the list.

Instructions

1. Install Homebrew
2. Install the Ruby Environment Manager - RBENV
3. Get Ruby 2.3.1 rbenv install 2.3.1
4. Install the Bundler Gem gem install bundler
5. Install the Jekyll Gem gem install jekyll
6. Go to the color-tools project directory if all these other steps succeeded in terminal. You know we're doing this in terminal, right?
7. Type in bundle install. If this worked, then pat yourself on your back, because we can:
8. Type in bundle exec jekyll serve which will serve the site locally.

A few other things:

• While I yoinked some of the style from your website, this is still ugly. The front page needs a CSS/HTML Fix, and so does each blog post. I can help with that over time.
• If you create a new MD file in the _posts directory and populate it similar to the other files, you can create a new blog post. There's a way to generate these files from the command line, but that will take me a bit more time to figure out. I can also help with that.
• When you generate the site, there will be a directory called _site. You can copy and paste that anywhere you want because it is a static standalone website with all your posts in glorious HTML/CSS/JS!

Give me a shout if you want to do this down the road 😀. I'm doing a bit of housecleaning, so I'm going to drop my fork of this repo for now, but it wouldn't be any sweat to bring it back up. Cheers!
