The Vienna Scala User Group Website/Blog

It's based on Jekyll with the Left layout by Zach Holman.

How to contribute to the blog

• Install Jekyll: gem install jekyll
• Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/left
• Run Jekyll in your local machine with jekyll --server and point your browser to (http://localhost:4000).
• Make, commit and push your changes to the repo.

Alternatively, if you do not have write access to this repository, fork this repo and send a pull request. Make sure you also ask to be added to the Vienna Scala User Group GitHub organization!

Customization

Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in _config.yml. That's where we'll pull your name, Twitter username, and things like that.

There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:

• CNAME: If you're using this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name, you'll want to change this to be the domain you're going to use. All that should be in here is a domain name on the first line and nothing else (like: example.com).
• favicon.ico: This is a smaller version of my gravatar for use as the icon in your browser's address bar. You should change it to whatever you'd like.
• apple-touch-icon.png: Again, this is my gravatar, and it shows up in iOS and various other apps that use this file as an "icon" for your site.

Deployment

You should deploy with GitHub Pages- it's just easier.

All you should have to do is rename your repository on GitHub to be username.github.com. Since everything is on the gh-pages branch, you should be able to see your new site at http://username.github.com.

Licensing

This is MIT with no added caveats, so feel free to use this on your site without linking back to me or using a disclaimer or anything silly like that.
