GitHub Repository for laurenmarietta.github.io

This GitHub repository contains all of the files needed for my personal website: https://laurenmarietta.github.io

Resources I used to create this website:

• GitHub Pages - free website hosting through GitHub
• Jekyll - static site generator; very useful for reducing redundancy in source code
  • Jekyll also includes built-in structure for making posts in a feed. Daniel Clarke has published a great example for how to implement posts here.
• Bootstrap - "an open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS."
• FontAwesome - "vector icons and social logos... the web's most popular icon set and toolkit."

Other useful resources for building personal websites:

• AstroSites - a quick tutorial to "help you build and publish your professional website" using HTML5 UP and GitHub
