I like Jekyll [1]. It is simple and open source. I am not sure about the SEO part though. [1]: https://jekyllrb.com/.

I use Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com). I’d switch to Hugo, but every time I try, I give up. It’s not that I can’t, it’s too much up-front investment and fiddling than I care to deal with (recommendations and tips appreciated).

Publishing tools. By utilising a simple structure of notes stored in a local directories or online repositories like github or gitlab, with the help of the static site generators like Quartz or Jekyll it is only a matter of few minutes and you can have your own digital garden, collection of personal knowledge and everything you written. Feeling inspired? Read this: A Brief History and Ethos of the Digital Garden,…

I run one blog on Jekyll[0], another on Hugo[1]. I must admit, Hugo somehow feels much more flexible and fast. – [0] https://jekyllrb.com/.

Today I decided to try and update the Jekyll theme for this site, Chirpy. If you’ve watched the blog or gone to this blog’s status page you probably noticed it was down for a few hours today. Needless to say, things didn’t go as planned. It turns out that the last time I tried to update/recreate the blog site I chose the Chirpy Starter option instead of the Github Fork option, and in trying to update it the whole…

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

In that case, what we need would be closer to a static site generator (like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll). But, static site generators aren’t the best choice either because we would have to build a lot of documentation-focused functionality (like versioning, search, and code blocks) ourselves.

In future, if you want to move from Jekyll to something else, you just have to worry about that `_posts` and `_assets` folder. They may have different naming convention but you can just config-managed it or change it to your choice. This is why I suggested owning that two yourself. You also may not worry about FrontMatter[3] (meta in the header) and its accompanying jazz by asking Jekyll to use the plugins…

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g….

I would suggest looking into static site generators. Some popular examples, which are used myself are:
– Hugo: https://gohugo.io/
– Jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com.

I created my blog using Jekyll, a great open-source tool that can transform your markdown content into a simple, old-fashioned-but-trendy, static site.

What are the advantages of this approach?

The site is super-light, super-fast, super-secure and SEO-friendly. Of course, it’s not always the best solution, but for some use cases, like a simple personal blog, it’s really a good option.

Yes, it’s Markdown and I use https://jekyllrb.com with the theme “jekyll-theme-hacker” to generate the site. I quite like how simple it is.

Jekyll is a static site generator. It takes text written in your favorite markup language and uses layouts to create a static website. You can tweak the site’s look and feel, URLs, the data displayed on the page, and more.

I’m using bridgetown because I like sitting on the bleeding edge, its basically a newer Jekyll which I would recommend checking out too. Bridgetown has a great modern dev experience but its missing some of the ecosystem from Jekyll. Not a problem for me because I’m really comfortable with Ruby.

If you want to have a different UI or your blog to look in a very specific way I recommend using Jekyll or Bridgetown.

If I wanted to post a simple website today I would look into Jekyll. There are a ton of articles and answers to common questions etc. It itself is written in Ruby but using it will not likely help you to learn Ruby. One-step in the direction of learning Ruby and getting a simple website could be Bridgetown. This will start you down a path of learning Ruby and not Rails. We use Bridgetown for our company site at…

You are writing entries in markdown, once uploaded, how does it become “usable content” ? A static site generator (eg: https://jekyllrb.com/) does additional steps prior to pushing up – templates, cross referencing, table of content, etc. There is a-lot of heavy lifting done in that engine.

The other option is to have your own custom website either by hosting your own blogging platform such as WordPress, Ghost or by setting up a static website with Hugo, Gatsby or Jekyll.
