Starting a blog with Jekyll on GitHub pages
Over the last couple of weekends I've been trying a couple of blogging platforms, namely WordPress.com and Blogger.
Each have their pros and cons, but to cut a story short:
- WordPress.com is quick’n’easy to setup,
but the editor gets painfully slow with long (and not really all that long) articles, themes are very limited and can’t be
customized.
- On the plus side, its code highlight block is quite neat.
- Blogger is also quick’n’easy to setup,
the editor works well enough, allows editing most of the content
as HTML and then uploading images and videos, and themes are
fully customizable (can be edited raw).
- On the huge downside, it will unpublish, block or remove posts even entire blogs, and there seems to be no way to appeal.
