Site

A blog hosted on GitHub is available at TheChels.uk. The site uses Jekyll, a static site generator, on Ruby. DNS and SSL by Cloudflare. It also uses GitHub actions, GitHub issues, and Python for extensive automation.

It is called "weak notes" as a play on words of the popular "week notes" blogging style - due to the likelihood, I will be inconsistent and non-regular.

Configuration

There are several optional settings for you to configure. Use the example _config.yml file in the repo and use the documentation below to configure your site:

Config

Using includes

There are 2 main includes: one for the header and one for the footer, largely to minimise repetition.

Using layouts

Layouts are almost one-to-one with pages, handling any page specifics. post.html is the layout used for every blog post. There are also default templates and an empty template used for scss and other special pages such as humans.txt

Using Data

Data files power many aspects of the site and these are updated via issues and GitHub Actions.

Site navigation

Using configuration yml, navigation is provided by three collections for header, footer, and around_the_web (on the about page) and are fairly self-explanatory.
