My blog is deeply inspired by Andrej Karpathy's work. I write this blog with Jekyll, and I have forked adueck's cayman-blog theme.
My blog is hosted on GitHub Pages. Meanwhile I've also set up Jekyll on my own Ubuntu 14.04 x64 PC for previewing the pages/posts before committing them to GitHub. Below I briefly list the procedure to get Jekyll working locally. For more details, you can refer to the official Jekyll installation documentation.
### Installing ruby, version 2.3.3
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ mkdir -p ~/src
$ cd ~/src
$ wget https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
$ cd ruby-2.3.3/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ ruby --version
### Updating gem to the latest version, 2.6.10
$ sudo gem update --system
$ gem --version
### Installing bundler, version 1.14.3
$ sudo gem install bundler
$ bundle --version
### I don't explicitly install Jekyll here. Instead, I rely on 'bundle install' in the target direcoty to install the proper version of Jekyll for me.
After checking out jkjung-avt.github.io repository onto my local PC for the first time, I'd run bundle install
once to make sure Jekyll (3.3.1) and all required gems for cayman-blog theme are installed properly.
$ git clone https://github.com/jkjung-avt/jkjung-avt.github.io.git
$ cd jkjung-avt.github.io/
$ bundle install
### Then run the following command to preview the pages/posts
### locally @ http://localhost:4000
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
In addition, I have integrated Disqus onto my blog by referencing Brendan A R Sechter's Development Blog. I've also integrated Google Analytics to track website traffic. My Disqus URL and shortname settings are located in _include/disqus.html, while my Google Analytics tracking code in _include/analytics.html.
