Finally, I've decided to finally set up a decent personal page. I have settled for github-pages because I like the idea of keeping my site in a repository and having someone else host it and deploy it for me. The site will be really simple, mostly static files, but [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) creates the static pages for the posts automatically every time I commit anything new to the repository.
Finally, I've decided to set up a decent personal page. I have settled for github-pages because I like the idea of keeping my site in a repository and having someone else host and deploy it for me. The site will be really simple, mostly static files.
Thanks to Github, [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) will automatically generate static pages for my posts every time I commit anything new to this repository.
Jekyll can be used independently, so if I ever choose to host the site myself, I can do it quite easily. Another thing that I liked about this approach is that the generated html files can be used in the future, and I will not need Jekyll to serve it. Jekyll is really simple and most of the things are written in plain html. Everything could be easily reused if I ever choose to change to another blogging framework.

That means that everything could be easily reused if I ever choose to change to another blogging framework (e.g. pelical).
But, for the time being, I like the fact that Github takes care of the compilation as well, so I can simply modify or add files through the web interface should I need to.
I hadn't played with HTML and CSS for a while now, so I also wanted to use this site as a playground for the capabilities of HTML5. At some point, I realised I was doing mostly everything in plain HTML and CSS, and decided to keep it like that for as long as possible. As of this writing, I haven't included any Javascript code in the page. Probably I will use some to add my [gists](http://gist.github.com/balkian) and [repositories](http://github.com/balkian), but we will see about that.

I think the code speaks for itself, so you can check out [my repository on Github](http://github.com/balkian/balkian.github.com). You can clone and deploy it easily like this:
