    PubwichFork is an open-source PHP Web application that allows you to aggregate your published data from multiple websites and social services into a single HTML page.

  • I was using PubWichFork, by Michael Haschke, which provided a way to generate the page sometimes (mainly at some times and/or when somebody visited it) and had a nice template and layout (later more on this).

  • Finally, the personal aggregator's Jekyll site needs to be cloned and adapted.

  • Jekyll

  • Jekyll I've been preparing several sites during last months and I feel quite comfortable with them: look for a template, modify it, put your content and go on.
