ADDING POSTS

The theme by default ships with starter posts located in _posts/. Delete these posts and add your content to the _posts folder to see them being served up by Jekyll. This would be a good guide to getting started on writing posts using Jekyll. We’ve added a concise guide below:

  • Create a .markdown file inside _posts folder.
  • Name the file according to the format YY-MM-DD-[short name for your post].
  • 2016-03-30-i-love-design.markdown
  • Write the Front Matter and content in the file.

FORMAT

---
layout: post | default | page
title: String POST TITLE
date: Time Stamp
categories: String | Array of Strings CATEGORY / CATEGORIES

CREATE PAGES

  • Name the file with the desired page link name. about.md design.md
  • Write the Front Matter and content in the file.
