Personal blog website.

Run

# Create CSS directory
mkdir assets/css

# Compile SCSS once for production...
sass _styles/main.scss assets/css/stylesheet.css --style compressed

# ...or watch for changes in development
sass --watch _styles/main.scss:assets/css/stylesheet.css

# Run
bundle exec jekyll serve

Structure

_layouts

Not quite sure how this works, but I believe this defines layouts in an HTML/Ruby structure.

I'd guess that the layout property defines the name for the given HTML layout that the file describes.

_posts

New blog posts go here. Be sure to include title, date, and categories properties.

layout is optional, but should be set to post to conform it to all other blog posts. If the post requires special styling, it may also be set to that as well.

---
layout: post
title:  "My Awesome Blog Post"
date:   YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS -0400
categories: coffee steak COW
---

_styles

SCSS for the entire site.

_assets

Anything your pages depend on (scripts, images, etc.)

Creating a New Page

New pages are created in the root director with either an html or markdown file extension.

These file must contain a header with at least a permalink property, similar to the one below.

---
permalink: /coffee.html
title: Coffee Makes the World Go Round
layout: default
