❓Do you think personal academic websites are worth it❓

[@hunterxhunter9493]

Hello , i think yes because it improve your learning , when you try to do storytelling like medium blogs as an example you'll find many issues in what you've learned and also creates some sort of discipline to be productive like you gotta do something , in the end i would thank you for this great video it was such a great help !!

[@jeiz5440]

Thank you very much, Mr. Boris. I have been struggling with creating a portfolio website like this, coming to Wix and WordPress but they haven't served my taste until this magnificent video.

[@borismeinardus]

wow, thanks!! I‘m really glad my video helped you that much ☺️☺️☺️

[@xiaoruixue1541]

Hi Boris, thank you so much for sharing this video!!

[@borismeinardus]

No worries ☺️

Really helpful! All the best for your further studies :)

[@wafaaabusadah863]

Thank you! this is really useful and you explained it well 🙂

Hi Boris, great video and great template! The only thing that I find strange is the publications section with that sort of nested structure (for example you get the suggested citation repeated multiple times, which is inconvenient). I've had a quick look but it doesn't look too straightforward to modify... How would you go about creating a new subpage (say for example a "research" section) in addition to the CV portfolio and publications ones?

[@ritishbehera4711]

Hey! How did you make the website live? I am facing issues build with jekyll failed. What to do , any idea??

[@user-pb1kz4lq4b]

Thank you so much! qq: how to remove the sitemap and the feed section at the bottom?

[@AbdelhakimDorbane]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, I created my page, I would like to add a new tab called "conferences" and add my conference papers there, is that possible? I tried it and the tab is empty.

[@JuanCarlosMH]

Hi Boris, great video! I'm still confused how you change from the browser to vscode in min 2:22 #noob, basically how do you clone the repo and edit the files locally? I'm sorry but I'm still learning git and enjoy working with local files, which can be more fun for markdown writing.

[@borismeinardus]

In the video I actually had my website done and just went through the code and showed the final result! So, I already pushed everything to github and there the action was triggered to update the website directly on github’s side. That said, you should also be able to serve it locally and see your edits in localhost. if not, you might just need to always push and wait for it to render on the live website. I hope this still somewhat helps! :)

[@vikrampande5243]

Hi, how can I add table of contents tab in each page?

[@shanggendaqi]

I went through the video and learned how to build one page, it's amazing. I believe this kind of video benefits a lot to some researchers like me who are not good at programming but still need to have a academic page.

[@borismeinardus]

I‘m really happy to hear that! I also really like academic pages. It‘s a much better way to have a public „resume“ than somehow sharing a PDF. I’m research it‘s really important to collaborate and show yourself and your work to the world :)

[@tianyima4922]

Hi Boris, thank you very much for this helpful video! Do you have any idea about how to make the avatar on the homepage bigger? Thanks again!

[@borismeinardus]

Hey! I‘m sorry to disappoint you, but I don‘t know how :/

[@tianyima4922]

@@borismeinardus No worries, I googled how to change it, just modify the codes in _sidebar.scss!

Really glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@sohocodes]

Hello Boris, new subscriber here! 🙋🏼‍♀ thank you so much for this video, I am really interested to know more about how to much such a CV exactly like yours. I have checked out your channel but I haven't seen any video regarding this. I suppose you made it with LaTeX at first place! Do you mind sharing the latex template of your cv or the raw one? then I can proceed with editing mine. Thank you so much

[@borismeinardus]

Hi! I'm really really glad to hear the video helped you 😊 I will hopefully soon make a video on how I made my resume and what is important to keep in mind when designing your resume! Stay tuned! 🤓👾

[@PrameshPudasaini]

Great informative video. How do you add a new page, say "News" in the header section?

[@borismeinardus]

Thanks! I am really not sure but I believe you can add the reference to the actual md file in the config file.

[@user-bh6ig4qw9z]

Thank you so much. Can anyone please let me know, how can I live this from my local computer?

[@makennahack77]

thank you this was very useful! Any idea why when I try to embed an image in a portfolio .md file the image does not show up on the actual website? It is showing up in the .md preview.

[@borismeinardus]

Hmm very weird... I don't have an idea on the spot :/

[@vince-lam]

make sure to remove the ".." before "/images/" at the start of your image's filepath in the markdown

[@Makisb12]

Hi guys! I had the same problem! my images do not appear in the website, but they appeared in the preview version in VScode :( So, Does anyone know the solution for this problem?

My website was working fine for a few days but recently I attempted to make edits and now I keep receiving the error "github-pages can't satisfy your Gemfile's dependencies." Do you have any idea how to fix this? Thank you.

[@borismeinardus]

Perhaps you should track the changes you did in the commit (and push) that broke your code! Look at what dependencies were added that might be the cause. I hope this helps

[@matik4605]

Hi boris , great video indeed . But i am facing a problem called build issue with jekyll and i am not able to trouble shoot it. It says "undefined method 'excerpt_separator' for #."

[@DanielAlejandroLopezMontiel]

I had the same problem, but I removed the excerpt line from the 404, about, and non_menu-page files. I believe it has to do with a new version of jekyll

[@user-fu7rh5un5k]

@@DanielAlejandroLopezMontiel yeah the bug was from new version of jekyll. Now it is fixed. Thanks

nvm just use serve instead of liveserve

Phew, I‘m really glad you found a solution! Not sure if I would have known one of the top of my head!

[@postnatalmotcoach1006]

on another note. I have a new inquiry and debating passing on the project as im still new but it's a property management site. with multiple users logging in . can GitHub help with this ? maybe there is a resource I can fork. (why is it called fork? ) odd. or maybe you can help and teach me and we split the payment .

[@borismeinardus]

I am sorry, but I‘m not quite sure what you mean.

[@manojkumarbr4256]

Hey Boris, thank you for this apt video. This is exactly what I have been looking for a long time. But I can't get the site running properly. It keeps showing "Not secure". I would appreciate an answer from you. It could help better if you share your email. Thank you. Edit: I figured out that issue.

[@borismeinardus]

Hey! I'm really glad the video helped!!! Sorry for not getting back earlier... But I'm glad you could solve the issue! What was it and how did you solve it? Perhaps someone else watching might have the same problem :)
