A new blog!
I’ve been using Wordpress for over 10 years. It’s become and amazing platform for blogging thanks to an amazingly vibrant community and the numerous innovations from automattic. I still use it for more media rich blogging but for code and tech, it’s hard to beat http://pages.github.com. Combining that with jekyll and you get a fantastically simple platform for creating technical content with features like:
- Versioning of content using git
- Blog content written in markdown
- Simple, vim friendly content structure
- Fantastic code syntax highlighting
def print_hi(name)
puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
# This highlighting rocks!
I look forward to many more posts to come on this new platform!
