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.

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.

Tables should have bold headings and alternating shaded rows.

Artist Album Year

Prince Purple Rain 1982
Beastie Boys License to Ill 1986
Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation 1814 1989

If a table is too wide, it should condense down and/or scroll horizontally.

Code snippets like var foo = "bar"; can be shown inline.

Also, this should vertically align with this and this.

Code can also be shown in a block element.

$ a * b = c ^ b $

$ 2^{\frac{n-1}{3}} $

$ \int_a^b f(x)\,dx. $

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}
// prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
class Person:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

p1 = Person("John", 36)

print(p1.name)
print(p1.age)

Inline code inside table cells should still be distinguishable.

Language Code
JavasScript var foo = "bar";
Ruby foo = "bar"

The <samp> HTML element is used to enclose inline text that represents sample (or quoted) output from a computer program. Here an example of an error message: File not found.


Small images should be shown at their actual size.

Large images should always scale down and fit in the content container.

Here’s a simple footnote,1 and here’s a longer one.2

This is the final element on the page, and there should be no margin below this.

  1. This is the first footnote. 

  2. Here’s one with multiple paragraphs and code. Indent paragraphs to include them in the footnote. my code Add as many paragraphs as you like.
