+I've been avoiding adding pagination to this blog forever since GitHub Pages
+doesn't allow the plugin by default. Now that we can deploy to Pages with
+GitHub Actions, I finally got it all working. I've done a couple hack jobs
+with GitHub Actions and Jekyll, but this new workflow is pretty simple. Here's
+what it looks like.
+
+```yaml
+{% raw %}name: Deploy Jekyll site to GitHub Pages
+
+# Allow only one concurrent deployment, skipping runs queued between the run
+# in-progress and latest queued. However, do NOT cancel in-progress runs as we
+# want to allow these production deployments to complete.
+concurrency:
+  group: "pages"
+  cancel-in-progress: false
+
+# Sets permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN to allow deployment to GitHub Pages
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  pages: write
+  id-token: write
+
+# Run this workflow on pushes to gh-pages
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - gh-pages
+
+# Use Ruby 3.2 in all jobs
+env:
+  RUBY_VERSION: 3.2
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    if: "!contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[ci skip]')"
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout repo
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: Setup ruby
+        uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
+        with:
+          ruby-version: ${{ env.RUBY_VERSION }}
+          bundler-cache: true
+      - name: Build site
+        run: bundle exec jekyll build --destination _site --verbose --trace
+        env:
+          # For jekyll-github-metadata
+          JEKYLL_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+          JEKYLL_ENV: "production"
+          PAGES_REPO_NWO: ${{ github.repository }}
+      - name: Upload artifact
+        uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3
+
+  # Deployment job
+  deploy:
+    environment:
+      name: github-pages
+      url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: build
+    steps:
+      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
+        id: deployment
+        uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4{% endraw %}
+```
