I like finding interesting ways to leverage [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com). I'm also found of the bookmarking service [Pinboard](https://pinboard.in) for its no-nonsense approach to providing a rock-solid service and financial sovereignty — two things seemingly in short supply with most web services and companies.

A couple months ago I released a RubyGem that combines them in an interesting way. It's aptly called [jekyll-pinboard](rubygems.org/gems/jekyll-pinboard) and you can find it listed on the official Jekyll site on [their plugin page](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/).

The gist of it is this: you can pull your Pinboard tags into your Jekyll templates and iterate through them just like posts or pages. It's great for handling general resource pages that might be a collection of external links, affiliate links, portfolio pages and more.

If you like using Pinboard and you like using Jekyll I think you'll like this plugin. The [GitHub repository](https://github.com/snaptortoise/jekyll-pinboard-plugin) has better documentation and you can see it in action [my demo page here](/jekyll-pinboard-demo/).
