First Post - Blog & Site Finally Ready

22 Jun 2015 | general

I finally have a shiny new Jekyll based Github blog. :smile:

The theme I’m using is Autm-rb and the image slider on the homepage is JSSOR. I’m using images directly from a Flickr set which I think contains the best pictures I’ve taken so far. Since the set in question contains quite a few pictures, manually retrieving the URLs for thumbnails and images would’ve been a tad tedious, so I wrote a script using this Flickr API to do this, you can find this script here.

I’ll cover how I integrated JSSOR into Jekyll/Autm-rb in another blog post.
