How I Make My Blog 📝

As I’ve said, I couldn’t get Jekyll to do what I wanted. Of course, that was a decade ago, and by now it can probably wipe my chin for me. But in any case, now I use myBlog to create my blog.

Since I’m using a Chromebook, I’ve installed VSCode for Android. It’s not free, nor is it expensive, and I’m relatively happy with the way it works. It’s best for web projects, as there is no desktop GUI with it. It also allows me to remove or reinstall the Linux container at any time (something I do way too often) without disrupting my ability to update my blog 🤗

See the readme for instructions on installation and usage. This is like a simplified Jekyll. You can fork the repo, and customize it by cleaning out the ‘_posts’ folder, update the site specific values in the config.yml, and update the assets and html bits to reflect your own preferences.

notes on node

Not all OS allow installation of global modules without using sudo, and you really don’t want to sudo npm.
To get around this limitation, I use nvm.
I generally use the lts version:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

You can now install global packages.
