This Website [mqo00.github.io]

This website itself is my attempt to practice the skills and learn some new tools for web design.

Originally I used javaScript / HTML / CSS and node.js to develop a static website, but then I figured there’s a more elegant solution using Jekyll, so I found a template and use my GitHub page to host this website. I also host it using my Andrew ID domain that CMU provides1, as my parents said somehow they couldn’t access the mqo00.github.io page.

The TeXt Jekyll template doesn’t support dynamic language switcher, so after some web searching, I found this blog2 the most useful and wrote one that’s compatible with this template without any plugin (to avoid GitHub pages compatibility issues). It’s not the most elegant solution, but it works, and I’ll probably write more about how I implement the language switcher in the future (Liquid is such a weird language :imp:).
