+# Egor Tensin
+
+This is my website hosted on [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com) at https://egor-tensin.github.io/.
+
+## Installation
+
+[Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) is used to build a set of static HTML pages from a collection of templates and resources.
+Jekyll doesn't support Windows, however at the moment of writing one can get it to work using the excellent tutorial at http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/.
+
+I'm using [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) to set up a development environment.
+After the `bundler` gem is installed, project dependencies can be installed by running
+
+    bundle install
+
+in the project's root directory.
+
+## Development
+
+To run a local web server, run
+
+    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch
+
+from the project's root directory.
+You can then review your changes at http://localhost:4000/.
+
+Please note that the support for `--watch`ing for modification on Windows is kind of iffy at the moment of writing.
+One possible workaround is to add `--force_polling` to `jekyll`s options:
+
+    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --force_polling
+
+It might still not work though, so you might end up having to re-run `jekyll` manually.
+For details, refer to http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/4-wdm-gem/.
