So this post originally just had some dumb lorem ipsum because I was trying to figure out if the hosted files on Github Pages get rebuilt or if I have to rebuild the site locally before uploading new changes - looks like it at least adds new posts, which is awesome! Not sure yet if changes to the site’s css or any js will be reflected without a rebuild, but I’m still figuring out the ropes with Jekyll.

Now one thing I’d like to be able to do with my FYP work is explain some concepts using nifty visualisations. A handy tool for doing that in webpages is D3 which has a whole host of example interactive widgets on the landing page. Pretty sexy, right? So, this sandbox post I use for all kinds of junk is currently going to be for trying out exactly that - embedding D3 <script>’s or even <iframe>’s in a Jekyll blog post.

Test 1 (Simple D3 Graphic):

Test 2 (SVG Interactive Graphic):

Again, this is just a test page, so don’t expect anything pretty here for now!
