How to Use

If you aren't familiar with Jekyll yet, you should know that it is a static site generator. It will transform your plain text into static websites and blogs. No more databases, slow loading websites, risk of being hacked...just your content. And not only that, with Jekyll you get free hosting with GitHub Pages! This page itself is free hosted on Github with the help of Jekyll and Mediumish template that you're currently previewing. If you are a beginner we recommend you start with Jekyll's Docs{:target="_blank"}.

Using WhileTrueCurious

Download or Fork WhileTrueCurious for Jekyll.

  • In your local project, open _config.yml. If your site is in root, for baseurl, make sure this is set to baseurl: /. Also, change your Google Analytics code, disqus username, authors, Mailchimp list etc.
  • WhileTrueCurious requires 2 plugins:
    • $ gem install jekyll-paginate
    • $ gem install jekyll-archives.
  • Edit the menu and footer copyrights in default.html
  • Start by adding your .md files in _posts. WhileTrueCurious already has a few as an example.
  • YAML front matter
    • featured post - featured:true
    • exclude featured post from "All stories" loop to avoid duplicated posts - hidden:true
    • post image - image: assets/images/mypic.jpg
    • external post image - image: "https://externalwebsite.com/image4.jpg"
    • page comments - comments:true
    • meta description (optional) - description: "this is my meta description"
