I’ve updated my webpage to use Github Pages & Jekyll using a customised version of the Hydeout theme.
For the past 15 or so years, I’ve been using the database-driven Wordpress system, but I’ve been quite frustrated with it for some time. At some point Wordpress, theme-designers in particular, pivoted away from it being a simple tool used to write and publish to a tool seemingly targetted at graphic designers and portfolios. Newer Wordpress themes have always frustrated me.
I wanted something that would serve text and images and not much more. Github Pages serves this purpose, doesn’t use a database nor any fancy bloated plugins and also is free. That’s all I need.
So, welcome to the new iteration of my webpage. This should become darraghmurray.com at some point soon.
