Jekyll My Blog
Aug 23, 2014Just migrated my blog to Jekyll, it was a custom Rails application, and I wrote a simple Ruby script to convert all Markdown text in the MongoDB to Jekyll posts.
Post.published.each do |post|
name = "#{post.created_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")}-#{post.slug}.markdown"
File.open("_posts/#{name}", "w") do |f|
f.puts "---"
f.puts "layout: post"
f.puts "title: \"#{post.title}\""
f.puts "date: #{post.created_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}"
f.puts "---"
f.puts "\n"
f.puts post.content.gsub("\r\n", "\n").gsub("```shell", "```bash")
end
end
With the experience in the heavy Rails framework, it has been much easier for me to use the gems jekyll-assets, autoprefixer-rails and jekyll-sitemap. The Jekyll theme is highly inspired by http://rickharrison.me.
