   There's a deployment page that, I agree, can definitely use some work : http://jekyllbootstrap.com/usage/deployment-and-hosting.html The link to the docs are at the bottom: (custom jekyll deployment strategies)

   a good idea would to have it be part of the layout so highlighting it would only highlight the actual text you want to highlight ... hmmm! good idea ..

   I'm the maintainer of jekyll-bootstrap, nice to see this on HN! My main focus is super-fast publishing (GitHub Pages) and technical blogging. I really could use some honest user feedback from technically-minded bloggers. What is most import

   Thank you for the reply. I felt it was important to address so that myself and others would be more confident with going ahead and pledging. Thanks for taking the lead here and actually shipping something.

   I wonder if they plan to take a percentage of the funds raised. I can see this being problematic. I think it's reasonable to say WeTheLobby needs to keep the lights on. I think I'd feel a lot better providing ongoing contributions if I knew

   thanks for making it easy guys, I just pushed your code live in about 2 minutes. Not sure I would have done anything otherwise =/ Thanks! ( http://jekyllbootstrap.com to see it in action)

   I'd be interested in helping you sort out your problem. I think it's a nice concept for a website. I am unclear with what you mean by "with the assistance of the creator". Does that mean there is a "usesthis" framework? I have experience in

   HN'ers have a hard enough time accepting: 'more features' != 'more marketshare' I would caution this making sure to note "it depends on the startup". If your industry pays attention to blogs it's very much worth devoting large amoun

    I'm interested in going to this - perhaps even giving a presentation. The website said it will be updated shortly. Do you have any information for this event?

    I do this as a rule. Chances are the companies I'd work best at won't be the type to value a resume. I'm going to be looking for a job very soon, so I built: https://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap and https://github.com/plusjade/na

    Since discovering Jekyll and the fact that GitHub Pages will host your content for free, I think this would be the ideal solution. However Jekyll is a pain in the ass to use, which is why I've been working on http://jekyllbootstrap.com/ J

    If you are talking about web-based development, you have to build a complete application all by yourself, from top to bottom in my opinion. This means all design work, UI, HTML, javascript. All backend application code that serves the the a

    I hope you are monitoring your post asymeric because I would honestly appreciate an answer to a question I have: It seems like jump into coding immediately interactive tutorials are all the rage. But I have always learned more effectively

    Thanks for the AltDevBlogADay reference. I hadn't heard of this. Your suggestions seem spot on. I hadn't thought to incorporate the GitHub api for collaborative features like you outline. I had an idea for a reputation system backed by GitH

    Definitely agree with this. Octopress definitely launched with momentum but it relies on a fork of Jekyll and custom plugins. This necessarily means GitHub can never merge any developments upstream even if they wanted to since GitHub needs

    Have to agree here. backbone.js has a learning curve but imo backbone is based on more ideal design principles. For example the first lesson in this tutorial is telling you to bind data to the view _by manually editing a DOM node_ . Wherea

    Good points all around. To respond to your main points: "When looking for a job, any job..." Ideally we should find the job that we are most motivated to do our best work at. It's a win for both parties. So I would try to avoid "finding any

    That's exactly why having completed projects on github (and actually working on a live website with a domain) will put you in the top 10% of developers. Isn't that a good leg to stand on when looking for a job? I feel you man, it definitely

    To each his own I guess. I disagree with the premise of "the resume". A resume is meant to distinguish you from other candidates. That line of thinking is very simply flawed. How can you distinguish yourself from other pieces of paper -
