I’ve just got Jekyll up and running on my dev box (after a bit of tweaking…). Turns out the “jekyll serve” command depends on something that depends on libcurl.dll on a windows machine, and libcurl.dll isn’t installed as part of the msys install for ruby. So, standard windows solution: find a pre-built version of the .dll somewhere and put it in a directory where whatever exe is looking for it can find it! See StackOverflow here for details.

Also, a neat “feature”: turns out if you set the date in this markdown file to some time in the future, the post won’t show up!

This shows up:

date: 2017-12-22 00:50:00 -0800

But not this!

date: 2017-12-22 01:50:00 -0800

Neat :)
