Setting up your own blog

I just spent a good long while converting a Jekyll theme to a WordPress theme. I value WP's comments too much. Static sites require you to give control of your comments to third parties, and that, for me, is unacceptable.

We are working on a new blogging platform SunSed.com (still a work in progress) with focus on writing and reading experience. Just try our editor! With Emacs like keyboard shortcuts (next sentence, etc) and features like moving content up/down in the page (no copy and paste needed). Anyway!

  The nice thing about Hugo is that there's no install step. Just download and run with zero dependencies. Plus it's literally 100 times faster than jekyll. Friend of mine with a large blog (1000-ish posts) has to wait over 5 minutes for jekyll to render his whole site. He tried Hugo with the same site: 1 second. This enables live reloading in a local browser whenever you change anything in your site, which is super handy. My first post about Hugo on my (obviously) Hugo-powered site: https://npf.io/2014/08/hugo-is-awesome/ https://npf.io/2014/08/hugo-is-awesome/

  I assume you'd have to host this yourself? One advantage of Jekyll/Pages is that the hosting is free and relatively easy to set up. edit: disregard me. I was busy being a bad user who doesn't read
  - NateDad 11y ago
    Hugo is just like Jekyll. It converts markdown (or other markup) into static HTML.
    - teirce 11y ago
      Ah, I see. I didn't thoroughly read the splash page. Thank you for informing me!

      Does it work with GitHub Pages? Edit http://gohugo.io/tutorials/github-pages-blog/ http://gohugo.io/tutorials/github-pages-blog/ THERE ARE SO MANY STEPS. I guess I'll eat the build time until it gets to 5 minutes.

under a version control system as beautiful as git? I'll grant that git can be useful and it's certainly unavoidable, but "beautiful" is not a word I would use to describe it. Git is ugly and best hidden underneath GUIs, WUIs, and frontends. Indeed, this is how most people use it. Very few of the thousands or millions of git users know more than basic usage and most do not rely on the CLI. So, in a similar vein to static blogs under version control, we have blohg for hg: http://blohg.org/ http://blohg.org/
- imron 11y ago
  > Git is ugly and best hidden underneath GUIs I guess I'm one of those 'very few', because every GUI and frontend I've used that tries to hide what's going on underneath has been far more cumbersome to use than the command line. The only thing I'll use a Git GUI for is to check the history/revision graph.
  - jordigh 11y ago
    The HN "random" sample of git users is also very skewed towards the git power users. Here is some usability research from Google et al about VCS usage: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en/us/pubs/archive/42942.pdf https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...
  - cowpewter 11y ago
    Git GUIs terrify me. On the command line, I know exactly what was run and how to get back to a known good state if I muck it up (or at least where to start googling for the undo!). I have no clue what some GUI is running behind the scenes when I click some theoretically innocuous button. Or at least that is how I felt when I was a beginner to git. Now I'm confident that I could fix anything a GUI screwed up but the command line is just easier and faster for me.

  On the topic of git... For the first 6 months I used git, which was because I started a new job where it was used, I stuck almost exclusively to a coworker's wiki page, "<name>'s git cheatsheet". I remember re-cloning the repo so many times when chances are there was a way I could have fixed the mess I'd created. I didn't know what I was doing and it was very complicated. It had a steep learning curve. Now, some six years later, I still only use a handful of commands regularly, but really, aside from the painful-to-read man pages (they are very clear, but contain so many flags and other tidbits), I find it very simple to understand and to use. I rarely ever get confused. I'm not a big fan of `rebase` but I can see where it would have its purpose in merging feature branches back to the trunk/master (and if I can find a coworker using it in a nice, clear way, I might adopt it myself). I never use `--force` and recommend that everyone everywhere avoid it once they've pushed. But really, and there may be some "survivor bias" involved here, I think it's a very well done system for what it does, and I am generally able to reason pretty clearly about what's going on and help others figure out what their issues are. It's quite possible that bzr/hg/darcs is a better and cleaner way of doing the same tasks, and I still have no idea about many commands and I am sure there are things that I have glossed over thinking that I understand them... but it makes sense to me; I don't like any of the GUIs (though I tend to like to "live" in the terminal as much as possible, I've seen things I don't like in both Tower and Sourcetree), and it just seems right to me. Sorry to go off on a tangent there...

I've been fascinated with Jekyll as a blog, but I wonder whether it offers the same SEO resources as Wordpress. Any experiences?
- roflmyeggo 11y ago
  Jekyll can set the basics such as meta descriptions via YAML front matter and the page template system, custom page titles, custom URL structure, etc. You can also use proper formatting quite easily (h1, etc.) with your choice of formatting. As long as you have that covered that is all you really need for good SEO - the rest is keyword research, quality content, links, etc.
- ricardolopes 11y ago
  In my experience it works great for SEO: you're in control of basically everything, so you have the freedom to play with meta tags, sitemaps, structured data, readable urls and so on. But, of course, afaik, there's no plugin with nice explanations and checkboxes to configure that stuff.
ricardolopes 11y ago
So far, after a disappointing experience with WordPress, I've been pretty happy with Jekyll, and would recommend it. I've written a tutorial on how to set up your own from scratch, which might be interesting of you're considering that: http://ricardolopes.net/blog/setting-up-a-hackers-blog-with-jekyll/ http://ricardolopes.net/blog/setting-up-a-hackers-blog-with-...

I've had a blog[0] on GH pages for a few years now. I wrote a few posts about how to go about setting up feeds/og tags, GA, and I really should write another one about setting up everything else. Basically, hosting a static blog is a rabbit hole. Keep track of where you came from, and share it out there. It's kinda amazing what you can do with a little bit of effort. Personal plug: I cofounded Feedio[1], which gives you a widget for doing email subscriptions (among other things).

  What about the fact that your content is duplicated in multiple places? Does that concern you at all?
  - steventhedev 11y ago
    To be honest, I'm not really sure what's duplicated here. Are you talking about the markdown sources being visible through the project?
    - x5n1 11y ago
      yeah. google indexes that.
      - steventhedev 11y ago
        Hadn't considered that. On the one hand, GH pages is a fairly popular resource for quick static site hosting, so Google should have had an engineer sit around and come up with a special filter just for that. On the other, I doubt very much that they've actually done that. All in all, as long as you set canonical tags for your posts, the duplicate content on another domain shouldn't penalize you too very much. In any case, SEO for a personal technical blog isn't a high priority for me. If I were writing books or doing something to earn money with the blog, I would probably shell out for static site hosting using S3 and Cloudfront or something.
