Setting up the blog 🎉

[Dec 28, 2018] Yangon
Welcome to my very first post!

So what did I just do? ကျနော်ဘာလုပ်မိလိုက်ပါလိမ့်။

Here is a simple instruction on how to create a blog like this. (Just in case if I forget how I built this. lol.)

Go to https://www.github.com and register an account
Create your first repository and name it yourname.github.io
- It will create a Github Page with above URL
- Add an HTML file and make some changes
Create another repository
- Name it something
- Now go to repo Setting » under Github Pages » change Source to master branch
- After a while, you can see the content in something repo at yourname.github.io/something
In my case, what I did was, I just forked jekyll-now and renamed it to blog.
- What is Jekyll? Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator

note: make sure you don’t have any folder with the name something under former repo; yourname.github.io

My profile photo is hosted on Amazon S3 with a size of 140 x 140 px. In the future, I might probably be hosting all my photos there. I will need to read more about it.

In 2015, I guess, it was my first attempt to follow this tutorial to create something similar but failed. http://hankquinlan.github.io/blog/
