A simple department website in Jekyll
Alexandre Rademaker
I am professor at an Applied Mathematics School from FGV at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our current website is http://emap.fgv.br/
I am planning a completely redesign of our website and I am considering the static generation approach. Jekyll is the best solution so far. Especially if I take into account that I have already experience with it in my own personal website.
It seems like a crazy idea adopt static site generator instead of Drupal, Joomla or other CMS. Does anyone have experience using Jekyll for more than a personal website?
I wonder if the site structure can be more complex than the basic suggested structure at:
https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/usage
For instance, we have regular seminars. Is it possible to have a text file with custom yaml front matter fields to each seminar and have all these files been processed to generate a list of seminars as Jekyll do for blogs? We will probably need something similar for our courses and pages about students. I don’t think that our content will be more dynamic than that.
Any suggestion or comments are welcome!
Cheers,
Alexandre

Yes, Jekyll can make the site that you describe.
Basically, you will create a different layout for every different kind of page
you will have, and then in the yaml front matter, tell each page to use each
different kind of layout.

Jekyll to generate the marketing side of our site (http://
crowdflower.com/). It's been pleasantly flexible.

You could possible make use of some liquid code to extract the data
you want from an associative array that you define in an included file
with just a YAML front matter. Or you could just define the
variables / associative array in the source and use a template
approach for this (like Jonathan suggested).

Have a look at http://developmentseed.org to see what's possible with
Jekyll.
Info about the site design is here: http://developmentseed.org/blog/2011/09/09/jekyll-github-pages
I'm just trying to learn Jekyll for a simple personal blog. This
impressed and inspired me.
