Welcome to Ralph's Blog

» Posted on 2009-02-26

Well, I guess every Blog has to have an initial post. This is my take. Well, I plan to use this blog for ramblings about web development. I am especially interested in Rails and performance, so you can guess where the main focus of my posts will be. If you want to get to know me better, I recommend visiting my website.

In the end, I do not want to forget the technical mumble-jumble: This blog is run by jekyll, the static site generator. It works much like page caching in Rails does, with all the caching done in advance. With the help of jekyll, I was able to create this blog in just a few hours. On the downside, some details do not work yet, like tags and a time based archive. At least I got comments. Comments, I say? Yes, comments! Well you can always add some dynamics to your static pages, as long as the code is executed on the client. For the specific case of comments, I use DISQUS, a JavaScript solution. I hope this will work out well!
