Just start with a free theme from the internet to get up and running quickly (just search "free Jekyll themes"). As time passes, you will find yourself rewriting half the code anyway and adding a heap of stuff.
You can see my blog now vs. the original theme — although I changed a lot behind the scenes SEO and performance-wise as well as the visible changes
Pretty much! I'm still using Jekyll, still using the same original theme – although now I've changed so much of it that it's almost completely different! 😅
Now I use Netlify to host my blog (also free), but the code is still taken from the GitHub repository.

That looks really good! Are you still on Github Pages using Jekyll? 😄

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
