This is my personal website built with Jekyll, where I share thoughts, experiments, and other literary works.

• Ruby version 3.2.2 or higher
• RubyGems
• GCC and Make (for building native extensions)

1. Install Ruby (if not already installed):

    # Install rbenv and ruby-build
    brew install rbenv ruby-build
   
    # Add rbenv to bash/zsh
    echo 'eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc  # For zsh
    source ~/.zshrc
   
    # Using rbenv (recommended)
    rbenv install 3.2.2
    rbenv global 3.2.2
   
    # Or using asdf
    asdf install ruby 3.2.2
    asdf global ruby 3.2.2

2. Install Jekyll and dependencies:

   # Install bundler
   gem install bundler
   
   # Install dependencies
   bundle install

3. Run the development server:

   bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

   The site will be available at http://localhost:4000

The site includes several helpful scripts in siteTools.sh:

source siteTools.sh 
new_post   # Creates a new blog post with proper frontmatter
new_page   # Creates a new page with proper layout

• _posts/ - Blog posts (format: YYYY-MM-DD-title.md)
• _drafts/ - Unpublished posts
• _layouts/ - Page templates
• _includes/ - Reusable components
• _scss/ - Sass stylesheets
• public/ - Static assets
• blog/ - Blog-related pages and archives

• Site settings are in _config.yml
• Style configurations are in _config.scss
• The theme supports:
  1. Customizable theme colors
  2. Changeable sidebar locations
  3. Integration with FontAwesome, MathJax, Disqus, and Google Analytics
  4. Numerous improvements over the original Lanyon theme

Create new posts in the _posts directory following the naming convention YYYY-MM-DD-title.md. Each post needs frontmatter:

---
layout: post
title: Your Post Title
date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
categories: [category1, category2]
tags: [tag1, tag2]
---

This site uses a customized version of the Lanyon Jekyll theme, which is based on Poole.
