 ### [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com "Website for Jekyll")
 
-Jekyll is a static site generator intended for creating blogs. This means that the code pushed to your consists of just HTML, JavaScript, CSS. There is no backend serving content from a database or anything like that. Some of the features I've really liked about it is the HTML templating capability it provides via Liquid, the ability to write content in Markdown before being converted to HTML, and the sensible code layout structure.

-Just as an aside, I was initially I was planning on using Django for the backend of my site as I was interested in becoming more familiar with Python. However I soon found Django to be too heavy for my needs. Next I looked at lighter web frameworks for Python and stumbled upon Flask which provides some core features of a web framework such as routing and templating without features like form validation or a database layer found in Django (although many of these extra features are still available as extensions).

-I was content with building a simple blogging engine on top of Flask. Unfortunately, while I was working on this I lost all my work. Long story, but let's just say I've learned the importance of not just committing in Git, but also remembering to push. Anyways, after this setback, I decided that even using a web framework was more than what I needed as my site was not serving any dynamic content. Also, at time my friend David Hu had recently set up a [blog](http://david-hu.com "David Hu's Blog") using Jekyll which made me aware of it.
