How To Write Blog Posts

Dedicated to Nikko: who will undoubtedly forget how to set up a blog post and will need to refer to this page to remember how to use GitHub and Jekyll to write a blog post.

To start writing a blog post, we’re going to need to set up the markdown page:

• Create a new file under your repository folder “_posts” that follows the format of YYYY-MM-DD-Title-title-title.md
• In the file: create “- - -“ with no spaces followed by :
• layout: post
• title: Whatever you wanna call it
• date: the date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• followed by “- - -“ with no spaces

Now you can start writing in Markdown. If you need reminders on how to write in Markdown:

• Use google
• use this markdown to html converter.
