Jekyll Blue is an overhauled fork of Jekyll Now.
It's developed as a quick but professional and full-featured way to create a personal website. It is based on Jekyll, the popular static site generators.
Static site generators behaves like CMS but after local compiling they output plain static website in HTML and CSS. This way your website can be securely deployed on any server. Stop worrying about PHP-like exploits!
Jekyll Blue supports Github Pages. Read the official doc and this wiki for further information.
All features of Jekyll-Now (credits to its author and its contributors), plus:
- Completely redesigned home page
- Full-width navbar
- Website search
- Powered by duckduckgo, so you don't have to worry about being tracked
- Automatic urls creation with redirect to enabled social networks
- e.g. yourwebsite.com/twitter automatically redirects to your twitter account, yourwebsite.com/facebook to your facebook profile, and so on. Just you set up your social networks in _config.yml file
- Email obfuscation, so you don't get spam (yay!).
- Dedicated page for all blog posts
- Sort posts by date or by category
- Choose whether to display or not page titles on a per-page basis.
- Reach all articles of the same category of the post you're reading with a single click
- Evernote Web Clipper and Evernote Clearly support: your articles are displayed beautifully
- Responsive support for videos (HTML5, embedded, YouTube and Vimeo)
... and much more! Head over here for a full list of features.
