How (and Why) to Generate a Static Website Using Jekyll, Part 1 – ProfHacker - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education

I always seem to have a need to build one website or another, and I like the idea of static content, but I haven't yet invested the time in learning something like Jekyll. Maybe it's because GitHub is still a bit of a black box to me, or maybe it's because I don't know how easily others would be able to manage a site I create, but I'll return to posts like this if and when I get to creating new sites. I'll also revisit http://vknight.org/unpeudemath/pedagogy/2015/04/06/my-5-reasons-why-jekyll-with-github-is-a-terrible-teaching-tool/, Vincent Knight's post about using Jekyll as a teacher.
