Archive note: this post started as the default Jekyll starter entry for the first version of this blog.

The original generated text mostly explained how Jekyll worked. That is no longer relevant to the current site, but I want to keep a small trace of where the blog began.

One thing I still appreciate from that starter post is how small a blog can be at the beginning: a file, a title, and a few lines of text are enough to start publishing.

Here is the tiny Ruby example that came with the original version:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

The current site is no longer built with Jekyll, but the post remains as a simple historical marker.
