Writing posts

Every post is just a Markdown file in the _posts/ folder, named YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.md. The block of --- fenced settings at the top is the “front matter” — it sets the title, date, categories, and tags.

What you get out of the box

• A clean, responsive layout
• Client-side search (try the Search link in the menu)
• Category and tag archive pages
• An RSS feed and sitemap, generated automatically

Adding images

Here’s a plain inline image (the text in brackets is the alt text):

The same image, centered, using a Minimal Mistakes alignment class:

And with a caption, using a small HTML figure block:

Delete this post whenever you’re ready and start writing your own.

This is a test

Headings, emphasis, and lists

You can write bold, italic, and inline code. Lists work as expected:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

Code blocks

def greet(name)
  puts "Hello, #{name}!"
end

greet("world")

Quotes

Static sites are fast, cheap to host, and hard to break.

That’s really all there is to it — write Markdown, commit, and your site rebuilds itself.
