Make way Gatsby, Jekyll's on the job!

It has been quite some time since I’ve posted. So long, in fact, that when I tried to pull down my previous blog site on my new laptop, the Gatsby setup was so out of date that it wouldn’t build locally. I could have reviewed the plugins and searched out migration documentation, sure. But I took this as an opportunity to try out a different setup.

You’re now reading this on a pretty basic Jekyll site, built on Ruby on Rails and hosted on GitHub Pages.

I’ve been wanting to get to know Rails for many years, but the Gems and out-of-sight stuff was a bit too much to take-in all at once. A little too much server-side approach for my client-side JS brain!

Welp, here I am. Granted, a Jekyll app is hardly a deep dive into Rails - but it’s a start.

If you notice some issues here and there, have patience. I have a running list of issues logged in GitHub that I’ll be chipping away at here and there.
