Architecture Overview

This is a personal blog/portfolio site for Nielet D’mello (Security Engineer) built with Jekyll 3.6+ and the Minima ~2.5 theme, hosted on GitHub Pages at dmellonielet.com.

Key configuration:

  • _config.yml — site title “Kaleidoscope”, custom output to public/ (not the default _site/), 25 posts per page pagination
  • Gemfile — pure Ruby/Jekyll project; no Node.js. Plugins: jekyll-feed, jekyll-paginate, jekyll-seo-tag, jekyll-sitemap, jemoji
  • CNAME — custom domain: dmellonielet.com

Content:

  • _posts/ — Markdown blog posts with YAML front matter (tags supported)
  • about.md — Author bio page
  • posts/index.html — Paginated post listing
  • images/ — Post images and favicon assets

Custom includes:

  • _includes/custom-head.html — Favicon and PWA manifest (site.webmanifest) declarations
  • _includes/read_time.html — Calculates estimated read time (words ÷ 135, minimum 1 min)

New post front matter format:

---
layout: post
title: "Post Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
tags: [tag1, tag2]
---

CI: Travis CI runs bundle exec jekyll build on commits to master; public/ is cleaned before each build.
