I guess I should have expected it, just barging in and start hacking, without ever having read a book … or looked at instructions. I’ve found that my old trick of “saving the original” file with a new name like save.original.html does not work with either .css, .html, or .md files when using Jekyll. It finds them all and somehow manages to combine all the settings enclosed within into some sort of unintellegable mess! So note to self, change file names to be saved to something that does not end with any of these suffixes …
Also having some challenges with s3cmd and uploading the update site code to AWS S3 bucket. It turns out the version in the repository for Ubuntu 14.04, which I’m currently running is rather dated version of 1.1. I’ve been using the command “s3cmd sync –delete-removed site/ s3://jamaas.com" but it doesn’t seem to update everything, and critically remove files that have been removed from the source site directory. I’ve just updated to the new version of s3cmd to 1.5 so will see if that fixes any of the issues.
One small piece at a time I guess.
