{% include JB/setup %}

I can't find the perfect set up without having to roll my own. I want to combine twitter, tumblr, read it later, google reader, and a few other web apps along with original content I can type in the blog itself.
So like many of the first posts on many of my other blogs, this is the last time! Why do I say that this time? I have no idea, this can't be the last time. The issue is, I can't find the "perfect" set up without having to roll my own. I want to combine "twitter":https://twitter.com/#!/jcblitz, "Tumblr":http://tumble.blitzstein.net/, read it later, google reader, and a few other web apps along with original content I can type in the blog itself in the manner I want. So far I haven't found one system that can do this. I've played with Jekyll a while a go and it had a lot of promise. I don't really need a "dynamic" site as a lot of data I'm interested in displaying comes off site. JavaScript can handle most of it.

So far I haven't found one system that is this awesome. I've played with Jekyll a while a go and it had a lot of promise. I don't really need a "dynamic" site as a lot of data I'm interested in displaying comes off site.

I'm going to give this a whirl and see if I can bend it to do what I want.
I'm going to give this a whirl and see if I can bend it to do what I want. My thought is I want columns that can aggregate each of those data items. Lets see if I can make that happen.

{% include JB/setup %}

Read [Jekyll Quick Start](http://jekyllbootstrap.com/usage/jekyll-quick-start.html)

Complete usage and documentation available at: [Jekyll Bootstrap](http://jekyllbootstrap.com)

## Update Author Attributes

In `_config.yml` remember to specify your own data:

title : My Blog =)

author :
name : Name Lastname
email : blah@email.test
github : username
twitter : username

The theme should reference these variables whenever needed.

## Sample Posts

This blog contains sample posts which help stage pages and blog data.
When you don't need the samples anymore just delete the `_posts/core-samples` folder.

$ rm -rf _posts/core-samples

Here's a sample "posts list".

<ul class="posts">
{% for post in site.posts %}
<li><span>{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</span> &raquo; <a href="{{ BASE_PATH }}{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

## To-Do

This theme is still unfinished. If you'd like to be added as a contributor, [please fork](http://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap)!
We need to clean up the themes, make theme usage guides with theme-specific markup examples.
