While being in Hongkong, I set up my new site with jekyll.
problems I was facing or things that I just spent time on:
- The font on the color of the links as they were displayed by the TeXt theme, so I had to dig in the CSS - as soon as you go CSS at least one hour is wasted…
Images
Images in the posts didn’t show when published on github pages - they do show up when running jekyll locally…
Things I tried and that did NOT work:
url: https://tillg.github.io # the base hostname & protocol for your site e.g. https://www.someone.com
baseurl: /tillgartner # does not include hostname
To make it work I had to add the site url to the image like so:
It doesn’t look like the best way to me, but currently I can’t find a begtter solution.
