Test

Well, looks like it works. Yay! Here’s what I did.

1. Install the jekyll gem
2. Create github repository called userName.github.io
3. Clone poole repo and push it to newly created repo
4. Clone my new repo delete post, replace info, and create first new post

I added Disqus comments, following the method in this post.

I also installed the rouge gem, to help with ruby syntax highligting. The only thing to do was to change the _config.yml to show: highlighter: rouge and rebuild with jekyll build

So does the code highlighter work?

def update
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
  if @user.update(user_params)
    redirect_to edit_user_path(@user)
  else
    render :edit
  end
end

Yep!

EDIT: Since 08/15 rouge breaks deployment to github. It needs to be replaced by pygments, the procedure can be found here. Its a bit more work though.

Finally I followed this post by Antriksh to show post excerpts on the homepage instead of the whole post.

Even for a novice that was relatively painless.
