You’ll find this post in your

_posts
directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run
jekyll serve
, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.

To add new posts, simply add a file in the

_posts
directory that follows the convention
YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext
and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.

Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:

1def print_hi(name) 2 puts "Hi, #{name}" 3end 4print_hi('Tom') 5#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
1package main 2 3import ( 4 "fmt" 5) 6 7// This is a comment! 8const theImportantValue = "this is a string" 9 10type Foo struct { 11 X int `json:"-"` 12 Y string `json:"y"` 13 Z bool `json:"z"` 14} 15 16func main() { 17 fmt.Printf("This is a test of %d.", 6) 18}

Check out the Jekyll docs for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll. File all bugs/feature requests at Jekyll's GitHub repo. If you have questions, you can ask them on Jekyll Talk.
