<h2>What's this all about?</h2>
</div>
<div class="twothirds">
<h3>Free hosting and a live site in a few clicks.</h3>
<p><strong>GitHub's <a href="http://pages.github.com" target="_blank">Pages</a> (free hosting) and <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo" target="_blank">fork</a> (copying a project to another account) features are awesome tools that can lower the bar to getting started in web development.</strong></p>
<p>Besides being a tool for tinerking-to-learn, it also makes having a live and hosted website more acessisble to those who may think it can't possibly be so easy.</p>
<p>I'd love to see Fork-n-Go pages that can be used for non profits and community groups. Tool lending libraries, directories of services...</p>
<h3>Designer wanting to get involved in open source?</h3>
<p>If you're a designer and know HTML/CSS then you can create a template site that can be used for open source projects or non-profits.</p>
<p>You can even fork this <a href="https://github.com/jlord/gh-pages-template">blank GitHub Pages template</a> to get started!</p>
<h3>Sheetsee.js Spreadsheet Fork-n-Gos</h3>
<p>Fork-n-Go sites that use <a href="http://jlord.github.io/sheetsee.js">Sheetsee.js</a> and connect the site to a spreadsheet make it easy to have your own website <strong>connected to your own data source</strong>.</p>
<p>If you create your own spreadsheet and copy the column headers from the original, you can then replace the old spreadsheet URL (or key) in the <code>index.html</code> of your fork and start using your own data.</p>
<h3>Jekyll Fork-n-Gos</h3>
<p><a href="http://jekyllrb.com/" target="_blank">Jekyll</a> is a static site generator (it builds HTML files and has them ready <em>before</em> the browser requests one) that's tuned for making blogs and <strong>Jekyll is supported by <a href="http://pages.github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub Pages</a></strong>. This means you can use Jekyll on a project and it will be supported by GitHub Pages.</p>
<p>This also means that users can fork designed Jekyll template repositories on GitHub and get going with their own blog in just a few clicks. Boom!</p>
