Customizing your website from the config

Even if you have no experience with Jekyll you can personalize your website from the config file (_config.yml). This section describes the variables and how they change the content of your website.

Favicon

favicon: "/img/favicon.ico"

Points to the website's favicon. You can either change the path to the desired favicon or replace the actual file.

Black Favicon

black-favicon: "/img/black-lab-glass.ico"

Before the title of website a black and white version of the favicon appears. This value is the path to this image file.

Posting a new post

Jekyll is waiting for new posts to show up as a file under _/posts with a file name "YYYY-MM-DD-title.markup". Also your file's content should start like this:

---
layout: post
title: <Post's title>
category: <Post's category>
---

After this header you can start writing your post using Markdown.
