Having had my domain for a while now, acquiring it with the intention of using it for multiple purposes, one of them being a website, till this date I never really put any effort into making that an actuality. In an attempt to change this I decided to do something about it.

I am always interested in new technologies, whether they are new for me or just new in general. That said I am by no means a front-end developer nor do I believe I am well versed in UI/UX design. So I needed something simple, preferably something that primarily uses text files as a base, that way I can potentially move everything without having to put a lot of effort in updating the content. In the end I decided to host it with GitHub Pages and generating the static contens using Jekyll. Jekyll is supported right out of the when using GitHub. Furthermore, using GitHub Pages I would not have to worry about the server architecture and would be able to focus on creating the actual content.
