Great explanation. Thanks DJ

Ya, I had noticed on Github a few people were having install issues with Mojave, so I took the time to write up the steps in as much detail as possible. Ok cool, looking forward to your article.

Netlify forms work great.

I was up and running within 5 minutes. The hardest part was styling the form.

By using Forestry CMS with Jekyll and hosting the site on Netlify, I have eliminated the need for server side code.

I recently decided to go with Netlify forms as I already deploy all my sites there. Great post DJ

Thanks. I have added this to my writing list.

In the past i too faced similar issues starting out (about 2 years ago) with Jekyll especially on Windows so i can relate.

I don't think this is the case anymore tho, as you can use two commands `brew update` to update Ruby and `bundle update` to manage Jekyll.

- Homebrew does a great job of managing Ruby versions on macOS.

- Bundler now manages all of Jekyll's dependencies without issue.

Craig I have to disagree with you.

The official Jekyll docs recommend the best way to install Jekyll is via RubyGems. I have covered everything here for someone getting started with a Jekyll blog, all the necessary Git commands and steps to deploy to Github Pages. No need to manage containers, servers or databases.

Saying "Don't do this" is a little harsh as knowledge of Docker is really not necessary. Using Docker is more of a personal choice thats suits your workflow.

Ya it's a great addition. It was a really common issue for many getting started with Jekyll.

You wont need post scheduling because nobody will bother to read your blog if you keep up that attitude! Problem solved
