header This is Jekyll-Bootstrap

The Quickest Way to Blog with Jekyll.

Jekyll-Bootstrap is a blogging framework made for developers and designers.
Create content in markdown or textile and manage everything with git.
Publish from terminal, no database, no hosting headaches.

Install and Switch Blog Themes With One Command.

Jekyll Bootstrap is the first Jekyll blogging engine to support modular theming.
This makes designing and sharing themes for Jekyll blogs much easier and automatic.

Support For All Major Blog Comment Engines.

Installation is as easy as pasting in your account identifier.

  • Disqus
  • Livefyre
  • Intense Debate
  • Facebook

Built-in Post and Page File Creation.

Easily create post and page file stubs using Jekyll Bootstrap's built in rake tasks.
Plus dynamically generated page stubs for all these goodies:

  • archive.html
  • pages.html
  • tags.html
  • categories.html
  • sitemap.xml
  • atom.xml

Free and Easy Blog Hosting With GitHub Pages.

Jekyll-bootstrap is 100% compatible with deploying to GitHub.
Just push your repository to a valid GitHub Pages endpoint and GitHub hosts your website <3.

Blog Your Way to a Better World =)

Jekyll Bootstrap started as a way to empower more programmers to share their knowledge, advice, and experiences. We've grown through embracing Open Source and prolifically refining Jekyll Bootstrap's Public API.

The Result?
Each new supporter builds a bigger and better community from which we mutually benefit. More and better themes, plugins, javascript goodies, and ultimately more knowledge shared.
