Thanks. Jekyll is great, especially when used in tandem with Github pages.
How is it when used with a self-hosted plan? Also, my client machine is Windows - I see a guide to install Jekyll on Windows, but not sure if it will actually work (not officially supported). On the theme itself, looks good. I like it. For comments, is disqus the recommended solution? Does it slow down the system again with database calls? Security issues again? I am also interested in having charts, but I presume in…
I don't run Windows, so I don't know whether it will work or not. Charts can also be added using a js library. You will have to include the data statically in your Jekyll build, as part of the js, or you can make an API call if available.
Adding to the comment by tacticus about Disqus: It's the preferred solution for Jekyll sites since they are static. Disqus takes care of all the commenting heavy lifting on the client side, while also taking care of the database.
