Make your own Blog in a brief

As made by Jens Hoffman in his blog, here is a tl;dr version of how to make your own blog on debian 7.0:

• enjoy having ruby installed by default
• sudo apt-get install ruby-dev (to make gem work)
• sudo gem install jekyll (install jekyll)
• Optional: gem install rdiscount (an alternative C-based markdown interpreter)
• Either start with a vanilla template and get blogging: jekyll new myblog (remember this is about content, not pretty looks)
• Or, look around a bit for other blogs/templates, fork them if allowed, then get blogging (what I did with Jens Hoffman’s blog, which is based on Zach Holman’s left template)
• You can review your work typing jekyll serve --watch and going to https://localhost:4000/
• Stuff it in a github repository named \[yourname\].github.io
• ???
• Profit!

Now is also a great time to read a bit about Github Pages and the excellent Jekyll Documentation.
