[sdiy] Marketplace Question

[Jimmy Moore]

Circling back on my earlier post, I had a fun morning with Jekyll -- if you
can post on reddit, you can make a website:

   - Electronote 116 - Filter Banks (Part 2)
   <https://electronaught.github.io/blog/1980/08/01/EN116>
   - WebNote 57 - Winding Down
   <https://electronaught.github.io/blog/2019/08/20/Assuming-Winding-Down-Webnote57>

The source code for these pages is basic markdown,
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electronaught/electronaught.github.io/main/_posts/2019-20-08-Assuming-Winding-Down-Webnote57.md>
and uses user-defined templates
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electronaught/electronaught.github.io/main/_layouts/post.html>
to control how things get rendered.   Anyone with rudimentary HTML/CSS
chops can make this look any way they like.

The bottom line is that the content is there, and was quite simple to
create.

If anyone is curious, The Jekyll quickstart guide
<https://jekyllrb.com/docs/>, plus this tutorial
<http://jmcglone.com/guides/github-pages/> offer a very gentle introduction
to spinning up your own website.  This is a nice way to get online with
zero cost.
