Currently done via FTP with the clubs shared web host. Run

Fonts, images, CSS, and JavaScript are managed using jekyll-assets.
- Gill Sans MT:
_assets/fonts/Included using@font-faceinmain.css.scss - Bootstrap Glyphicons:
_assets/fonts/vendor/bootstrap/ - FontAwesome: Uses Font Awesome CDN, JavaScript included in
<head>
All images should be compressed and optimised before inclusion in the repository.
The main CSS file _assets/stylesheets/main.css.scss is included in _includes/head.html and includes Bootstrap and all the components for custom styling. This is minified by jekyll-assets on build.
This website is designed using Bootstrap for responsive mobile first styling. Currently using Bootstrap official Sass port, v3.3.6.
Upgrading:
To upgrade, _assets/stylesheets/vendor/_bootstrap.scss must be modified to include the _assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap_variables.scss override file after Bootstrap includes its own variables file.
_assets/javascripts/main.js includes all JavaScript components and is included in _layouts/default.html before </body> with JQuery hosted by Google CDN.
Pre-minified Bootstrap placed in _assets/javascripts/vendor/_bootstrap.min.js.
