Building the Website - Finally getting to work

Samuel Brooks · January 21, 2025

I’ve been putting it off for so long but its time to finally get this website up and running.

Using my available github page, I’ve forked the Reverie, which is a Jekyll-powered theme that helps give the blog some formatting and has a bunch of build in things.

Hopefully, this should make it to where formatting on mobile and on the computer isn’t a pain, and that adding new blog posts is smooth.

In order to upload the gifs and videos for my posts I ended up having to download Github Desktop and set up Github Large File Storage for the repository, which ended up being harder than I thought because this repo was a fork. For some reason, large file storage doesn’t work on forks of public repositories, so I had to disconnect this fork from the original repo, and only then could I upload the large files I needed to upload. Other than that hiccup, this has exposed me to more of the github ecosystem, something that I desperately need to familiarize myself with if I am to continue developing VR applications in the future.
