How to do a blogging

See Jekyll's docs. Also github pages docs.

High-level:

• posts go in _posts/ and are named YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md
• drafts go in _drafts/ and no one will ever see them.

local preview

To check it all goes before you push (thumbs up):

1. > gem install bundler if you haven't already
2. > bundle install but probably only if it's your first time
3. > bundle exec jekyll serve --watch and go to town on it.

• if you want to see drafts add the --drafts flag.

writing stuff

posts should start with the following YAML front matter:

---
  layout: post
  title: Some post about a stuff.
---

Then just write pro markdown like a hero.

how to be less ugly

index.html is, unsurprisingly, the main page. It uses the default layout which right now comes straight from the theme.

_layouts/post.html is the template for the individual posts.

To really look good we will probably want to make a css/ folder which will just get copied over and contain our styles. If we make a _sass folder full of SASS then Jekyll will build those too, and this could be positive.
