Derek Haynes Public Site

This is the static site for dlite.cc, powered by Jekyll, a Ruby static site generator. It is used for the public-facing parts of Booklet (homepage, blog, etc).

Blog instructions

To create a new blog article:

• git checkout -b blog/[INSERT TITLE] - create a Git branch
• Add a new file to to the _posts directory w/the same DATE-TITLE.md format as other posts.
• Copy and update the front matter from the top of an existing post.
• Write the post in Markdown format.
• Images - place images in /img/posts/[INSERT TITLE]. Reference these like ![INSERT DESCRIPTION](/img/posts/[INSERT TITLE]/image.png).
• When done, git push the branch and create a PR on GitHub. Netlify will build a preview. When ready to publish, merge the PR and the update will be deployed to https://booklet.ai.

See the Jekyll docs on posts for more details.

Dependencies

• Ruby 2.6.2 (Netlify uses this version. Other Rubies are slower to build.)
