This site is now running on Github Pages using Jekyll.
Where WordPress was a content management system Jekyll is a static site generator. It reads content in the form of .md (markdown) files and templates in the form of .html files and churns out a complete static website.
I'm still getting the hang of it.
Development
While working locally test changes using
bundle exec jekyll serve
The site can be viewed on http://127.0.0.1:4000/
Production
To push to the live Github Pages site
$ bundle exec jekyll build $ git add -A $ git commit -m "Message" $ git push
