Overview:

Welcome to our blog system for codeaffen.org. Here, we publish new and interesting articles related to our work as System Engineers or System Architects. Our blog system is powered by Jekyll, a simple and static blog system, and we use the Beautiful Jekyll theme for its aesthetics. With Jekyll, we can create static pages that are blog-aware and support features like permalinks, categories, and custom layouts. The best part is that Jekyll is eligible for free hosting on GitHub Pages, making it easy for us to share our articles with the audience. All articles and posts on our blog are released under the CC BY-NC-SA license.

Features:

  • Simple and Lightweight: Jekyll is a straightforward and lightweight blog system that simplifies the process of publishing articles.
  • No Database or Moderation: With Jekyll, we don't need to worry about setting up and managing a database or moderating comments.
  • Static Pages: Jekyll generates static pages, which makes the blog load faster and reduces the risk of security vulnerabilities.
  • Support for Markdown, Liquid, HTML & CSS: We can write our articles using Markdown, Liquid, HTML, or CSS, giving us flexibility and freedom in formatting the content.
  • Blog-aware: Jekyll is designed specifically for blogging, making it easy to manage blog-specific features like permalinks, categories, and custom layouts.
  • Free Hosting on GitHub Pages: Thanks to Jekyll's compatibility with GitHub Pages, we can host our blog for free without worrying about server costs or configurations.

Summary:

At codeaffen.org, we have developed a blog system powered by Jekyll and Beautiful Jekyll theme. This simple and lightweight blog system allows us to publish articles quickly and efficiently. With features like static pages, support for various markup languages, and blog-specific functionalities, Jekyll provides us with the necessary tools to manage our blog effectively. Additionally, its compatibility with GitHub Pages allows us to host our blog for free.
