Notes on building this site

2017-02-12 21:47:00 +0000

I thought jekyll and Github Pages would be an easy way to get a website up and running with minimal CSS and HTML hackery. Like many a millennial I learned CSS and HTML at a very early age, but I don’t much find it particularly fulfilling to wrangle with these days. What has been a little more interesting is learning about Ruby (I guess).

Custom typography

After some fiddling, my fix is to put in my _sass/_styles.scss (which came with the theme), some modifications on classes identified using Firefox ‘Inspect Element’ to specify my preferred fonts:

@import 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Fira+Mono';
body, .standard{font-family:Fira Mono,monospace}
code{font-family:Fira Mono,monospace; font-size: 85%;}

Syntax highlighting

# style currently used
rougify style github > _sass/_syntax.scss
