andrewchang — personal site

A minimal, single-page academic site. No themes, no JavaScript, no external fonts or packages. GitHub Pages builds it automatically on every push to master; the live site is https://curlsloth.github.io.

Editing

Everything you'll normally touch is plain text:

What you want to change	File
Bio, research, experiences	index.md
Publications	_data/publications.yml
Name, links, email, photo	_config.yml
Colors, fonts, spacing	assets/css/style.css
Page structure / layout	_layouts/default.html

Add a publication

Open _data/publications.yml and copy an existing block into the journal: (or conference:) list, keeping entries newest-first:

  - title: "Your paper title"
    authors: "Chang, A.; Coauthor, B."   # your name as "Chang, A." is auto-bolded
    venue: "Journal Name"
    year: 2026
    volume: "12"        # optional
    pages: "1–10"       # optional
    doi: "10.xxxx/xxxxx" # optional; becomes the title link

Switch site theme

_config.yml → theme_css:

theme_css: /assets/css/style.css        # current monospace look
# theme_css: /assets/css/style-90s.css  # 1990s look

Local preview (optional)

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

Then open http://localhost:4000. This is only for previewing — pushing to GitHub is all that's needed to publish.
