arienkock.github.io

A Jekyll-based GitHub Pages blog. Clean, markdown-authored, with a warm paper-and-teal design.

Writing

New posts go in _posts/ as YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md:

---
title: My post title
subtitle: Optional one-liner
date: 2026-04-17
tags: [optional, tags]
---

Body text in **Markdown**. Fenced code blocks, tables, images, and
blockquotes are all styled.

Commit, push — GitHub Pages builds and serves it.

Pages

• index.html — home, lists _posts/
• about.md — about page
• archive.html — lists _archive/ grouped by year
• _archive/ — posts from 2013–2018, preserved and converted to markdown

Local development

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

Then open http://localhost:4000.

Design

A light, editorial style:

• Fonts: Fraunces (display), Manrope (body), JetBrains Mono (code)
• Palette: warm paper surfaces, teal primary, rich contrast in both light and dark mode
• Dark mode follows OS preference and can be toggled (stored in localStorage)

Styles live in assets/css/main.css.

Legacy

The original 2013–2018 site and old index live under legacy/ for reference. They're excluded from the Jekyll build. The old post URLs (/YYYY/MM/DD/slug.html) now redirect to the archive versions at /archive/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/ — internal cross-links between old posts were rewritten automatically during conversion. Note: anyone linking to the old URLs externally will hit 404 unless you add redirect rules; consider the jekyll-redirect-from plugin if you want to preserve them.

Re-running the archive conversion

The conversion script is at _tools/convert_archive.py — only needed if you ever want to regenerate the archive from the original HTML sources:

python3 _tools/convert_archive.py
