Add Jekyll boilerplate #4

Closed jrubenoff closed 10 years ago

jrubenoff commented 10 years ago

We need to add a boilerplate Jekyll site and isolate Commonplace in a subdir (i.e. /admin/).

I'll start by creating the markup for this.

npm gives you a lot of options to run scripts at different points of the install, and I'm wondering if there's not existing code that can be leveraged to give a clean/flexible Jekyll install. Yeoman is potentially a good candidate whether it's building a new generator or utilizing existing ones.

Hmm, I was thinking much more bare-bones. The only required files for this project are the post type templates in _layouts and _config.yml for global config.

Those features / config options in generator-jekyllrb are pretty baller, though. Keep in mind we would need to continually fork and alter anything we adopt since we need custom layouts for each post type.
