[annotator-dev] Website and Github Pages

Thu May 15 02:02:46 UTC 2014

Ok, I think I am following your updates now after rereading, Randall. 
However, what this means to me is that every time a blog article is 
added, there will be a commit in both the master branch and gh-pages 
branch that would need to be pulled reflecting changes in the jekyll 
source and jekyll destination files. This is fine, but it brings up a 
bit of an opportunity for master and gh-pages to be unsynced if 
corresponding pull requests are not made at the same time. I understand 
the motivations for keeping source files out of the gh-pages branch, so 
I think doing it this way is fine until it possibly becomes a headache.
