Effective Jekyll

This is a starter Jekyll site that uses:

• Bootstrap 4.4.1
• forestry.io as the CMS
• Netlify for the deployment/hosting

Doesn't use a theme gem.

Demo: https://effective-jekyll-demo.netlify.com/

Installed Plugins

• jekyll-compress-html
• jekyll-feed
• jekyll-gzip
• jekyll-menus
• jekyll-paginate-v2
• jekyll-redirect-from
• jekyll-seo-tag
• jekyll-sitemap

Notes re: Bootstrap 4.4.1

• CDNs for the JS (Jquery, Bootstrap, and Popper) are included at the bottom of _includes/default.html
• Customize Bootstrap by editing _sass/bootstrap-4.4.1/_variables.scss
• Comment out unused Bootstrap components @included in _sass/bootstrap-4.4.1/bootstrap.scss
• Override compiled Bootstrap components in _sass/componenents/*

Notes re: Editor

• Sublime Text: add _site and .jekyll-cache to your folder_exclude_patterns via Preferences --> Settings
• VS.Code: I dunno something similar though :)
