Site design

The design of this site is my own. But I began by taking a careful look at David Sanson's site, and the bones of this site's design continue to owe a fair bit to his.

Nuts and Bolts

This site is generated by

• Jekyll (a lightweight CMS)

The site makes use of several useful scripts and services:

• Disqus manages comments.
• JQuery makes adding occasional bits of javascript-powered functionality easy
• html5shiv makes older versions of Internet Explorer recognize HTML5 elements.
• I use the COinS Generator to generate COinS metadata for papers on my research page.

The site is hosted on

• github,

an inexpensive pay-as-you-go bare-bones reputable web host. I end up paying ~$9 a year for domain registration and >50¢ a month for storage and bandwidth. I've been happy with them so far. To keep that price low, large files (like PDFs) are hosted via

• Dropbox

To make the Dropbox URLs look better, I use
