My first project is to configure my diary.

What I've done today:

• Fork the original repo
• Add Jekyll and a template
• Configure the template
• Build a "link dump" functionality:
  • Links and their description can be put in YAML FrontMatter
  • A link list is generated
  • The link list automatically tries to grab a favicon from the linked site and shows it if it finds one

What I'm planning to do next: The diary still looks quite raw and ugly. So I'll add some styling I think.
