Made Mistakes website codebase, built using Jekyll.

Made Mistakes Source Code

This is the source code of Made Mistakes, a personal blog and portfolio built with Jekyll and a starter I call Skinny Bones.

Please note: Made Mistakes hasn't been completely "themed" like some of my other Jekyll repos and isn't GitHub Pages compatible. In some cases the Jekyll plugins may be safe to remove without breaking things while others may not fare as well.

The two biggies likely to cause the most headaches are Jekyll Archives and Jekyll Assets. Archives auto-generates all of the tag pages so you'll need an alternative solution or just go without them if you turn that baby off.

Jekyll Assets is used to build, concatenate, MD5 fingerprint, and minify stylesheets and JavaScript. All of this can be done with Grunt/Gulp instead if you prefer that workflow or you could simplify things and use Jekyll to preprocess your Sass partials. Either way it's doable with minor edits.

Plugins Used

• Jekyll Sitemap (GitHub Pages supported)
• Jekyll Archives
• Jekyll Assets
• Jekyll Related Posts

Images

Made Mistakes has a lot of image assets. images/ has been split into its own repo to reduce the size of this repo.

Local Development

1. Install dependencies bundle install
2. Run Jekyll server to preview bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config-dev.yml --no-watch. Good idea to disable auto-regeneration since the site is quite large and takes a few minutes to compile.
