It was kind of nice but I still wanted something a bit simpler and more light-weight.</p> <p>I really like <a href="http://jekyllrb.com">Jekyll</a> as a blogging platform and recently I've been using <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/">Twitter Bootstrap</a> for some projects, which is also very nice. So I decided to combine them both together. After adding some nice stuff to get up and running quickly I realized that others might like a light-weight no-fuss way to get up and running with Jekyll too. So I moved all the general stuff into a repo and now I have another open source project: <a href="https://github.com/sym3tri/jekyll-jumpstart">Jekyll-Jumpstart</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Using Jekyll-Jumpstart is super easy.</li> <li>There are no dependencies are required.</li> <li>If you can use git and a text editor you're good to go.</li> <li>You'll have your blog up and running in about 5 minutes.</li> <li>After that you can configure everything to your heart's content.</li> </ul> <p>This very site is based on Jekyll-Jumpstart, if you like the way it looks why not give it a try? I'd love to hear any feedback if you end up using it.</p>
