-## Welcome
+## Step 4: Create a blog post
 
-With GitHub Pages, you can host project blogs, documentation, resumes, portfolios, or any other static content you'd like. Your GitHub repository can easily become its own website. In this course, we'll show you how to set up your own site or blog using GitHub Pages.
+_Your home page is looking great! :cowboy_hat_face:_
 
-- **Who is this for**: Beginners, students, project maintainers, small businesses.
-- **What you'll learn**: How to build a GitHub Pages site.
-- **What you'll build**: We'll build a simple GitHub Pages site with a blog. We'll use [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com), a static site generator.
-- **Prerequisites**: If you need to learn about branches, commits, and pull requests, take [Introduction to GitHub](https://github.com/skills/introduction-to-github) first.
-- **How long**: This course takes less than one hour to complete.
+GitHub Pages uses Jekyll. In Jekyll, we can create a blog by using specially named files and frontmatter. The files must be named `_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md`. You must also include `title` and `date` in your frontmatter.
 
-In this course, you will:
+**What is _frontmatter_?**: The syntax Jekyll files use is called YAML frontmatter. It goes at the top of your file and looks something like this:
 
-1. Enable GitHub Pages
-2. Configure your site
-3. Customize your home page
-4. Create a blog post
-5. Merge your pull request
-
-### How to start this course
-
-<!-- For start course, run in JavaScript:
-'https://github.com/new?' + new URLSearchParams({
-  template_owner: 'skills',
-  template_name: 'github-pages',
-  owner: '@me',
-  name: 'skills-github-pages',
-  description: 'My clone repository',
-  visibility: 'public',
-}).toString()

-
-1. Right-click **Start course** and open the link in a new tab.
-2. In the new tab, most of the prompts will automatically fill in for you.
-   - For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
-   - We recommend creating a public repository, as private repositories will [use Actions minutes](https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions).
-   - Scroll down and click the **Create repository** button at the bottom of the form.
-3. After your new repository is created, wait about 20 seconds, then refresh the page. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the new repository's README.
+```yml
+---
+title: "Welcome to my blog"
+date: 2019-01-20
+---
+```
+
+For more information about configuring front matter, see the [Jekyll frontmatter documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/).

+### :keyboard: Activity: Create a blog post
+
+1. Browse to the `my-pages` branch.
+1. Click the `Add file` dropdown menu and then on `Create new file`.
+1. Name the file `_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md`.
+1. Replace the `YYYY-MM-DD` with today's date, and change the `title` of your first blog post if you'd like.
+   > If you do edit the title, make sure there are hyphens between your words.
+   > If your blog post date doesn't follow the correct date convention, you'll receive an error and your site won't build. For more information, see "[Page build failed: Invalid post date](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/troubleshooting-jekyll-build-errors-for-github-pages-sites)".
+1. Type the following content at the top of your blog post:
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   title: "YOUR-TITLE"
+   date: YYYY-MM-DD
+   ---
+   ```
+1. Replace `YOUR-TITLE` with the title for your blog post.
+1. Replace `YYYY-MM-DD` with today's date.
+1. Type a quick draft of your blog post. Remember, you can always edit it later.
+1. Commit your changes to your branch.
+1. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) will automatically update to the next step.
