My First Post

This is my first post on my new Jekyll blog using the Chirpy theme. I’ve designed this to mirror the information-dense and minimalist style of Kevin Kelly’s The Technium.

Why Jekyll?

I chose Jekyll because it is a static site generator. This means:

• No Database: Faster loading times and better security.
• Markdown Support: I can write in plain text.
• Version Control: My entire blog lives in GitHub.

Adding a Link

You can easily add links like this: Check out the original Technium.

Adding an Image

To add an image, place your file in /assets/img/ and use this syntax: This is a caption for the image above, just like on Kevin’s blog.

Code Snippets

If you want to share code, Chirpy handles it beautifully:
