| 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: |
| |
| {% highlight ruby %} |
| def print_hi(name) |
| puts "Hi, #{name}" |
| end |
| print_hi('Tom') |
| #=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT. |
| {% endhighlight %} |
