This website is intended to act as a portfolio and blog.
It is updated infrequently and is mostly used to host maker projects in fields such as woodowork (furniture and delicate), electronics and programming.
It also includes some research details from a PhD in experimental physics, focussed on characterising antiferromagnetic thin films of CuMnAs using optical and transport measurements.
A Jekyll version of the "Forty" theme by [HTML5 UP](https://html5up.net/).
# How to Use
For those unfamiliar with how Jekyll works, check out [jekyllrb.com](https://jekyllrb.com/) for all the details,
or read up on just the basics of [front matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/), [writing posts](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/),
and [creating pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/pages/).
- **GitLab**: Simply fork this repository and start editing the `_config.yml` file!
- **GitHub**: Fork this repository and create a branch named `gh-pages`, then start editing the `_config.yml` file.
# Added Features
* **[Formspree.io](https://formspree.io/) contact form integration** - just add your email to the `_config.yml` and it works!
* Use `_config.yml` to **set whether the homepage tiles should pull pages or posts**, as well as how many to display.
* Add your **social profiles** easily in `_config.yml`. Only social profiles buttons you enter in `config.yml` show up on the site footer!
* Set **featured images** in front matter.

This is Forty, my latest and greatest addition to HTML5 UP and, per its incredibly
creative name, my 40th (woohoo)! It's built around a grid of "image tiles" that are
set up to smoothly transition to secondary landing pages (for which a separate page
template is provided), and includes a number of neat effects (check out the menu!),
extra features, and all the usual stuff you'd expect. Hope you dig it!
