About Your Jekyll-based Blog Hosted on GitHub Pages

Jekyll is a simple, open-source, blog-aware, static site generator. Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, so you can host your Jekyll blog on GitHub’s servers for free. The difficult work has already been done for you; all you have to do is some simple user-specific tinkering in the repository that has been created for you.

Instructions For Setting Up Your Weekly Blog Repository

Follow the steps below in order to set up your weekly blog.

  1. Locate your repository in the class organization; it is named YOUR_ID-weekly, where YOUR_ID is the GitHub user name that you chose for yourself.

  2. Click on the repository icon to open it.

  3. Edit the _config.yml file and follow the instructions in the comments in that file.

  4. Edit the about.md file to include some information about yourself. Since the blog posts and this file are public, everyone can see what you put there, so give some thought to what you would like to say. In any case, make sure that you use Markdown to format this page.

  5. After you have completed all of the steps above, modify this README.md file so that it contains a short description of your repository. You will not need to keep these instructions in this file, since they are in the template and can always be read there. As an idea, it could be something like this:

This repository belongs to ... and contains weekly blogs written by ... for a course in Open Source software development.
