Fabiosouto.me is a deprecated Jekyll personal site template created with Jekyll Bootstrap and Bootstrap 3, whose source code now redirects to a new repository at github.com/fasouto/fabiosouto.me.
What is Fabiosouto.me?
Fabiosouto.me is the source code of the former personal website of Fabio Souto, originally hosted at fabiosouto.me and built with Jekyll Bootstrap and Bootstrap 3. The project runs on Jekyll, a Ruby-based static site generator, and compiles text and Markdown content into a static blog-style website. The repository is explicitly deprecated — the README states the site has moved to github.com/fasouto/fabiosouto.me — and its GitHub topics are jekyll, jekyll-site, and jekyll-theme.
Key Features
- Jekyll Bootstrap foundation — Built on Jekyll Bootstrap, a starter framework that scaffolds a blog structure (posts, pages, categories) for Jekyll sites.
- Bootstrap 3 styling — Uses Bootstrap 3 for responsive layout, typography, buttons, and grid components; no other CSS framework or preprocessor is mentioned.
- CC BY article license — Articles in the project are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, allowing reuse with attribution.
- Free design adaptation — The README explicitly says "Feel free to copy and adapt the design," so the visual design can be reused in other projects.
- Deprecated with redirect — The README marks the site as deprecated and points readers to a new repository, so the template is preserved as an archive.
- Static site output — Jekyll generates plain HTML files from Markdown and Liquid templates, so the output can be hosted on any static web server or GitHub Pages.
Who is it for?
Fabiosouto.me suits developers learning Jekyll who want a minimal real-world example of a Jekyll Bootstrap site. Bloggers who prefer a Bootstrap-based layout can use the source as a starting point. Designers can copy and adapt the design for their own personal pages, as the license permits. Finally, anyone migrating a Jekyll site can study how the author structured a blog with Jekyll Bootstrap.
What can you do with Fabiosouto.me?
- Jekyll learners: read the source code to see how Jekyll Bootstrap wires together configuration, layouts, and posts into a working blog.
- Personal site builders: reuse the Bootstrap 3 based design as a starting point for a personal page, since the design is explicitly free to copy.
- Archivists: keep the deprecated repository as a reference for how Jekyll personal sites were structured in the Jekyll Bootstrap era.
- Content reusers: reuse the articles under the CC BY 3.0 license, provided attribution is given.
FAQ
Is Fabiosouto.me free to use?
The README states the design is free to copy and adapt. Articles are released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which permits reuse with attribution. No license restrictions on the code itself are mentioned beyond the design permission.
What is Jekyll Bootstrap?
Jekyll Bootstrap is a framework for quickly bootstrapping Jekyll blogs. It provides a default directory structure, layout templates, and configuration files so users can publish posts without building a Jekyll setup from scratch. This project is built on top of it.
Is this template still maintained?
No. The README marks the site as deprecated and says it has moved to github.com/fasouto/fabiosouto.me. The repository is an archive of the original source rather than an actively developed template.
What tech stack does it use?
It uses Jekyll as the static site generator and Bootstrap 3 as the CSS framework, combined through the Jekyll Bootstrap starter. No JavaScript framework, CMS, or build tool is mentioned in the source.
