+Hi, I'm Jacob. This repo contains my personal website, hosted and served at [jahoo.github.io](http://jahoo.github.io) by GitHub Pages.

+This jekyll site is a heavily modified version of [minima](https://github.com/jekyll/minima) theme. I use the [jekyll-scholar](https://github.com/inukshuk/jekyll-scholar/) plugin in order to render BibTeX. The plugin is not supported by GitHub Pages currently for automatic generation, so I build the site locally and push.  This basic workflow, sketched below, is based on that by @alshedivat, copied from the [al-folio](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio) theme.
