There’s been a big move to service oriented architecture (SOA) in the past few years and if you’re like me, you probably work with quite a few services on a regular basis. Hell, you might even have a few projects that don’t even have a database and rely solely on external services/APIs.

I just want to start by saying I’ve been doing ruby development professionally for about 2 years now and like any ruby programmer, I discovered quite a bit of things that didn’t quite work as expected.

Posts in Jekyll are generated from markdown, so it can be pretty difficult to provide additional classes for styling. You can however take advantage of liquid tags, like include to help you out.
