Speaking for myself as an international tax lawyer, I have been banging my head against Github and bleeding heavily.<p>I can see enormous benefit for myself and my work. If I can start with a static page HTML to publish an existing 150-page book, I&#x27;d be thrilled. I have every tax treaty as HTML files and I&#x27;d love to get that out of Wordpress and into a static site hosted on Github or elsewhere.<p>The Github help pages and all the random blog posts are largely gibberish. And I&#x27;m pretty nerdy -- starting with ham radio as a high school kid, Kaypro computer in 1982, building sites by hand pre-Wordpress.<p>I defy anyone wanting to set up a simple Jekyll blog on Github pages to do so without swearing and throwing a shoe across the room.<p>End of rant. I will be banging my head against the wall again tonight.
