Testing out system for jekyll, and mathjax for documenting research

Testing equations: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Testing markdown

To ensure I remember the workflow to publish:

Workflow to Publish new blog posts

Navigate to folder containing website. Navigate to posts

$ cd _posts
$ vi YYYY-MM-DD-file-name.markdown

Write the blogpost, saving in markdown. Use gedit/atom for now. Don’t forget the Front matter like so:

---
layout: post
title:  " title"
excerpt: "Snippet of post/Post summary"
date:   YYYY-MM-DD Time
---

**markdown** post

Return to console, and build to preview site:

$ cd ..
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Push to github

$ cd ..
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "new blog post"
$ git push

Github automatically refreshes and post is live.

Cool. My first posts on this website will be rough. They will be documenting my thought process and my research work. No real polish. Some images, or none. Just writeups. It will take some time to begin to use blogging as a research tool.
