I’ve already using different blog systems like WordPress and Ghost, but this is my try to start a blog in english about personal and development topics with Jekyll.

Maybe is the domain not my best choice (.de is the domain for germany), but as I haven’t any project on it, I will use it.

I will be using GitHub as hosting service. That will have a few great side effects: you can download my whole blog via git clone, in the same way you could mirror my blog and if you want to notified when a new change happens, you could subscribe my Blog via the “Watch” Function of GitHub.

I don’t like limits. Because of that, I will only push the _site directory to my GitHub Repo. (In that way I can use custom plugins in Jekyll)
