My Previous Site

My previous site was built with a combination of Jekyll and GitHub Pages along with some other bits of code I’ve found around the interwebs. When I last upgraded the theme, it stomped on a bunch of my configurations. I didn't think to put it in git and my notes are terrible.

Here are some links and resources (and other tips) to remember how this all works next time I wait 2 years between blog posts.
