mediumish-theme-jekyll VS al-folio

Maybe Mediumish (?)

If you don't have a Jekyll blog, but you want to follow the tutorial till the end, just clone a free template from Bootstrap Starter. You will customize it later. I particularly like Mediumish.

Take a look at the ICLR example in that repository.

Since you’re a CS student, you may have some coding experience, so maybe you’d be interested in using this Jekyll theme made for academics, specifically students: https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio

Hi folks! I've been trying to set up a website for graduate school a while now as my old one has outlived it's usefulness but can't seem to settle on an appropriate one. I would really appreciate it if folks could point me to their sites or sites that they really liked! Unfortunately, my search has only led me to the Wowchemy academic and the al-folio themes. Please do comment if you've come across any nice themes/templates/sites that you really like! Markdown support is preferred but I can make do without! Thanks

I think static site generators are by far the best way to go. It reduces complexity and allows you to write in stuff like Markdown so it massively saves time. I like al-folio: https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio

Jekyll website has a great step-by-step tutorial to help you to set up a Jekyll driven static website from scratch. Once you have understood how Jekyll works, you can choose an existing template or themes to speed up the website building. There are plenty of themes in Jekyll showcases and Jekyll Themes which can reuse in your private website. After doing some research I finally choose alshedivat/al-folio.
