Links
A small collection of resources connected to the Jekyll/GitHub Pages history behind these sites. This page preserves the useful core of the former paco.org /links/ page rather than attempting to reproduce an old general-purpose bookmark portal.
Jekyll and the original site stack
- Jekyll — the static-site generator behind the original GitHub Pages version of paco.org.
- Jekyll Now — Barry Clark’s quick-start Jekyll project. The archived paco.org site identified itself as created with Jekyll Now.
- Jekyll Now issues — historical troubleshooting and project discussion.
- Liquid — the template language used by Jekyll.
- Git — version control underlying the GitHub Pages workflow.
People who helped make the early site possible
Barry Clark
Barry Clark created Jekyll Now, which provided the foundation for the early Jekyll/GitHub Pages version of paco.org and made a much simpler path into Jekyll possible.
Dmytro Kryvokhyzha
Dmytro Kryvokhyzha’s modification of the Jekyll Now code was the practical breakthrough that opened the way to Jekyll for Francisco I. Rodríguez. Barry Clark supplied the foundation; Dmytro’s adaptation made that foundation usable for the blog that became the Jekyll/GitHub Pages version of paco.org.
His entry is preserved here as part of the site’s technical lineage, not merely as a general bookmark.
Historical note
The former paco.org Links page also pointed to a Markdown style guide, a Jekyll theme directory, Atom, social-media profiles, and a separate permanent link portal. Those were useful working bookmarks at the time, but this page is intentionally narrower: it preserves the resources and people that help explain the site’s Jekyll/GitHub Pages origins.
