At first I just installed WordPress on my shared hosting account on <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?582831/promo/dreamsavings50/">DreamHost</a>, but then I wanted to use <a href="https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet">Markdown</a> for editing and went to look for a blog engine that uses Markdown natively.</p> <p>My search lead me to <a href="https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now">Jekyll Now</a> which made setting up this blog on <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-github-pages/">GitHub Pages</a> extremely easy. I knew about GitHub pages, but probably wouldn’t have gone to the effort of figuring out how to get Jekyll up and running from scratch. I was even able to use my own domain name and <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https/">enforce HTTPS</a>.</p> <p>The plan is to write shorter posts more frequently about technical things I’m working on or just figuring out. So, here we go!</p>

My previous blog was blog.dennispalmer.com, but it’s been over 4 years since I last posted anything there.
