Welcome to the repository of my personal website, where you can see behind the scenes!
The website uses the minima theme, as well as the stylesheets from the personal-website repository.
In order to redirect some pages to external sites, for example, the projects page, I used the jekyll-redirect-from gem.
To make mathjax work, I followed the instructions from this site. However, while this rendered locally, this did not render on https pages. For mathjax to work on https, I had to modify the line in head.html slightly, as discussed in this comment.
To display blogposts belonging to a certain tag upon selection of the tag, I followed the somewhat quick and dirty method in the tutorial present here.
The quick and dirty trick used to display only posts belonging to a tag when the tag is clicked unfortunately led to the page scrolling down inconveniently upon click. Thus, to prevent this from happening, I had to use another "quick and dirty trick" from this Stack Overflow answer.
The 'tags' code worked by checking the targetted id of the current url (the part after the #) to display posts belonging to that tag. Unfortunately, this meant that if nothing was targetted, that is, the url was just '/blog/', then none of the posts would be displayed.
I wanted to change this behaviour and have all posts be displayed even when nothing with no target. I used this Stack Overflow answer to add some Javascript to append a non-targetting url with an anchor. Kids, don't do web dev like this :P
