There's not much else to say... welcome to Bit Goblin!
If you're here then you likely don't need a real introduction since you're probably coming from YouTube or some other platform that you've met me on. But either way, in case you don't already know me, I'm a fun-loving, tech nerd that loves playing with anything relating to computers. Whether it's networking, system administration, database administration, building PCs, software development... the list goes on, but I love it all. To me, it's really fun building things and making things do what I want them to, whether it's to make my life a little bit easier, self-host some services to better safeguard my data, or just for fun. (...it's mostly for fun!)
The content I post is mostly centered around me just documenting what I'm doing for my own future reference if I ever run into the same problems, and hopefully it helps you out as well or at least gets your gears turning and motivates you to go out and play with tech in your own way.
The primary content that I publish is over on YouTube on my [Bit Goblin channel]({{ site.links.bitgoblin_channel }}), and I also semi-regularly post videos on Old School RuneScape over on [Ascendings]({{ site.links.ascendings_channel }}). If you prefer watching live content more, then you can head on over to [my Twitch channel]({{ site.links.twitch_channel }}) - I'm not nearly as active over there but I do hop occasionally to interact with you all and have a good time playing games (mostly Old School RuneScape... it's my favorite game, stop judging me).
I'm also huge into building an inclusive, supportive community for great people to chat, chill and help each other out. In this vein I've spun up a [Discord server]({{ site.links.discord_invite }}) for you all to go hang out in and chat, and I'm currently in the process of spinning up a Minecraft server for you all to play on and a forum for a more laid back, old school-style way to talk to one another and get help. I'm open to spinning up more services for the community, so be sure to let me know if there's anything you want!

title: "How This Site is Made (with Jekyll)"
description: "These days, you can make a website MANY different ways. So I chose Jekyll..."
date: 2022-02-19 12:31:10 -0400
tags: web-design
---
There are MANY ways to build a website these days. You have the old-school ways of hand-coding your HTML's and CSS's, to building a dynamically-generated website with new-agey tools like webpack and whatever-node-framework-is-in-right-now, and even using point-and-click tools like Wordpress or Squarespace. No matter what you want to do and your skill level, there's something for you.
Personally, I LOVE building websites from the ground up. Not necessarily coding everything from scratch, but at least starting from something barebones that's extensible enough so I can plug-n-play my own choice of tools to make that's tailored to me. This is why when I need to make a website, depending on the requirements I'll use frameworks like Slim (PHP), Express.js (Node.js), Gin (Go), and the like - minimalist frameworks (or routers...) that I can plug in things like templating engines, an ORM or some sort of database abstraction layer, and authentication mechanisms.
I also firmly believe that NOT every single website needs to be built to accept user inputs, or dynamically generate web pages on the fly; sometimes you only need a simple, static webpage or set of webpages that are small, concise, and quick to load.
## Introducing Jekyll ##
This is where static website generators come into play, and I went with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). It's a really neat tool that combines the magic of the Liquid templating engine with the simplicity of markdown files to create a static, blog-aware site. Heck, it's so cool that it's used by GitHub! It's how they generate webpages for GitHub Pages!
Part of what makes Jekyll great is its extensibility. There are plugins available for things like compiling SASS/SCSS stylesheets and CoffeeScript, generating RSS feeds and sitemaps, displaying GitHub Gists, and many other things to help you in generating your site. Plus, there are community-maintained themes that can be used to give yourself a headstart with designing your site so you can focus on the content rather than the boring CSS designing junk.
It does require some setup to get your site scaffolding and templating setup, especially if you want to use other tools like CoffeeScript to compile your JavaScript scripts (that's me!) and want to change your templating engine. But, once you've got your site configured, creating a new blog post is as simple as creating a new markdown file in your \_posts folder, fill out the post metadata, add some content and BAM! it's ready to go.
Also, the developers of Jekyll were smart: they not allow you to build a site into static HTML files to serve on your site, but they also built in a tool to "watch" your source directory for changes and automatically rebuild it on the fly so you can easily see your changes as you're developing it or writing a new post.
## Experiences with Hugo ##
At this point I'd like to mention that I also really like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io), which is a static site generator in the same vein as Jekyll. It's written in Go, so it's typically a LOT faster to render sites, and it's also just a single binary so it's easier to install and maintain a single version that you build your site with.
Now as for why I went with Jekyll: simply just familiarity. I can go into a long debate about the pros and cons of each and talk about why Jekyll fits my use better, but realistically both are FANTASTIC tools that I'd recommend to anyone looking to build a static site. I don't need your confirmation that I made the correct choice ;).
## That's all for now! ##
Well, that's it for now. I hope you were able to learn something from this - I just wanted to talk about how I created this site with Jekyll since I'm really happy with the setup now. It's not too fancy, but isn't boring. Now the next step is integrating it with some CI to automatically deploy new versions of the site...

Welcome! My name is Greg Ballantine and Bit Goblin is my passion project for creating YouTube videos on tech. I love tinkering with all things related to computers, and I enjoy documenting the things that I do so that others can use my struggles to ease their own. Whether it's buildings PCs, playing with networking gear, or exploring the beauty of Linux, there are lots of things to play with and try to help others with.
Not only do I create tech videos for Bit Goblin, but I'm also trying to build a community around it for great people to just chill, have fun, and help each other out when need arises. Ranging from the aforementioned YouTube videos on computer hardware, networking and Linux, to a community Minecraft server, a Discord server for everyone to relax and chat with each other, a future community forum and other services. Everyone is welcome to join the community, all I ask is that you simply just be excellent to each other. Easy enough, right?
I do work with sponsors to help fund my projects. If you're curious about who I've worked with before, check out the [Sponsors page]({% link sponsors.markdown %}).

Unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees, and a lot of the stuff that I purchase to make videos on can be quite expensive. My content is available free-of-charge on YouTube, but if you don't mind helping support me financially any help would be much appreciated.
The primary way to support my work is through donations on [my Patreon page](https://patreon.com/BitGoblin). I don't have any reward tiers over there yet, but I do plan on adding some rewards at some point in the future.
I also have an Amazon Associates account to create affiliate links for products featured in my videos. This doesn't require any effort on your end: all you gotta do is buy something that is linked from one my videos!
