Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems many blogs start with a post about what was involved in getting the blog going. This isn’t really a blog, but anyway…

This site is hosted on GitHub at https://raygard.github.io/, but using a custom domain https://raygard.net.

I had already done a little with Jekyll and GitHub Pages using the Just the Docs theme. I wanted to set up a site or page where I could put any sort of stuff, initially planning to point to some work I’ve put up in GitHub repositories and some open source contributions I’ve made or will make. Just the Docs is aimed at documentation and it seemed fine for some work I’ve done so far (more about that in the next post). I needed something better suited for blogging.
