A simple, accessible Jekyll portfolio for a metadata librarian working with RDF and linked data.
It uses Stanford identity colors and the layout from the brand guidelines: a full-width header,
a 1/4 sidebar, 3/4 main content, and a full-width footer. See SITEMAP.md for the page plan.
Acknowledgment: This website was created with the help of Claude Opus 5.5, an AI model developed by Anthropic. Claude assisted with the site map, Jekyll template, styling, and documentation; all content and final decisions are the author's own.
- Create a repository. Name it
USERNAME.github.iofor a site at the root URL, or use any other name for a project site athttps://USERNAME.github.io/repo-name/. - Upload these files to the repository root, so
_config.ymlis at the top level. - Go to Settings → Pages → Build and deployment, choose Deploy from a branch, and select
main/ root. - In
_config.yml, seturl: "https://USERNAME.github.io"and matchbaseurlto the repository name:USERNAME.github.iorepository:baseurl: ""- Any other repository name:
baseurl: "/repo-name". If this doesn't match, styles and menu links break.
Optional local preview: bundle install && bundle exec jekyll serve, then open http://localhost:4000.
