Description

@SimonDarksideJ

I'm new to Ruby and Jekyll, so I'm not as familiar with how importers and such work.

So if there are "Requirements" for an importer to work, PLEASE document them on the docs page and NOT just the run command.

Just spent a few hours trying to get the Ghost importer to run only to find:

  1. I needed to also run "gem install jekyll-import"
  2. Then it turns out I needed another gem and had to run "gem install sequel"
  3. Then I needed sqlite3 -> "gem install sqlite3"

NEVER assume the reader / user has complete knowledge or expect them to know things, please just be clear with install instructions and usage to avoid confusion

After all that, the Ghost importer still didn't work as it appears "out of date" with Ghost 3 / 4 db schema. Too much time wasted
