{% include JB/setup %}
This is my sandbox site that contains various demos and examples that don't really fit any main projects I'm working on. Most of it is a scratch pad that might roll into a project or be parts I need to test out more. Generally, my blog, [BenKnowsCode]({{ site.blog_url }}) will reference this site.
The site was generated by Jekyll and I started it using Jekyll-Bootstrap. Since I didn't need the blog aspect, I spent some time figuring out how to tweak it for a hierarchy of pages. I wanted to organize everything into projects so I leveraged the "group" meta-data on my pages to organize my pages. JB already has a template that will render a list of pages with a specific group so I setup basic path of navigation > projects > projectA and put my pages in corresponding directories.
Addtionally, since I had to add custom plugins to Jekyll, it won't render correctly via the hosted GitHub Jekyll so I created a separate repo for the source and then push the generated content to my pages repo.
- To see how I set this up in the source, look at it in GitHub.
- To learn more about how I setup this site, [look at this blog post]({{ site.blog_url }}/2012/08/using-jekyll-to-create-site-on-github_2028.html).
