Jekyll Workshop Part 5 - Extra credit

24 Jun 2013

Got this far? Awesome. Bonus round! See how many of these you can get done and shipped!

Change your site’s name

This is an easy one: Crack open _config.yml and edit it. You might need to restart Jekyll.

Create a new post with Prose.io

Prose is a great little web editor for Jekyll sites. Write a new post with it!

When was your site generated?

Jekyll includes several variables you can inject onto your page. Drop in the one that shows when your site was generated, and format it!.

Add an include

Includes are a low-fi way to share content across pages that wouldn’t make sense to put in a layout

Make a new index of posts

Listing posts is something you’ll need to do eventually with your Jekyll site. You got that for free with jekyll new, but learn how to do it yourself!
