After looking at how yeoman.io generates their website using Travis CI, I thought I'd give it a try myself. After spending a couple of hours figuring out how all of this stuff works (and making a lot of mistakes1 in the process), I am pleased to say that this blog is now built by Travis! :D
This is a test post for Travis CI. Let's see how it goes. Will post an update soon.
I've been writing CSS for over 3 years now. I used a lot of Bootstrap when it was still at v2.3.2. I've also taken a look at other CSS frameworks, such as Skeleton and Pure and also looked at smaller projects, such as Toast, a CSS grid implementation. However, most of my projects involved significant customization - some projects didn't use a framework at all - so I ended up picking up a lot of CSS.
I've always thought that frameworks as complete as Bootstrap (sometimes referred to as bloated) were awesome. Need a navbar? Of course it's included. Need a sliding image carousel? Yep, we've got that too.
But I've always wondered. What if, instead of including everything that a project might need, you simply included some basics? How much code would you have to write? How would it compare to Bootstrap's whopping 122.5 kB?
A new version of Petroglyph is out, v0.2.0! This blog has been updated too, and is now being generated by v0.2.0.
I started work on Petroglyph a year ago. The code I wrote then did a lot of stupid things and had a lot of things missing, but well, it worked. When I completed that version, I remember deciding that I would certainly come back one day and update it.
I first started blogging around four years ago, some time in the middle of 2010. My first blog was called 'A Thought or Three', which I then thought was a pretty cool name. However, SEO caused me to move to My Wireless Mind. I blogged there for a couple of years, until the December of '12.
