Welcome to my first blog.

If you wanted to build a similar personal page, guides I find helpful are listed here:

  1. A big shout out to the owner of this blog! This post here is most helpful in starting my journey in blogging:https://hot33331.github.io/first-blogpost/
  2. Another page with comprehensive Jekyll introduction course and how to set up your configuration yml file: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/08/build-blog-jekyll-github-pages/
  3. I’m using minimal mistakes as my website theme: https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/configuration/
  4. Medium post (in Chinese) on using Jekyll in Markdown blogging:https://medium.com/@starshunter/%E7%94%A8-jekyll-%E5%92%8C-github-page-%E4%BE%86%E6%9E%B6%E8%A8%AD%E9%9D%9C%E6%85%8B-markdown-%E9%83%A8%E8%90%BD%E6%A0%BC-fcaa288d4dd7

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.

Jekyll requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:

YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP

Where YEAR is a four-digit number, MONTH and DAY are both two-digit numbers, and MARKUP is the file extension representing the format used in the file. After that, include 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:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

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.
