At the beginning of each post there is some yaml front-matter which gives you some options:

layout: post
title: Welcome to Jekyll!
date: 2014-02-03 23:16:00
jumbo_title: Welcome to Jekyll!
jumbo_subtitle: Static Websites from Plain Text

There's also a layout for notes, which are intended to be some mixture of a Gist, an email, and a blog post. The yaml front-matter for notes looks like this:

layout: note
