Editing the _config.yml file

Below is the data we will go over. If this is not in your _config.yml file, it is OK.

  email:

  about:
  description: >

  projects:

  permalink: /:title/

The title variable is for the title of your page.

The author variable is for the author of your page, you can also put a project name here.

The avatar is the image to display on the main page.

The name_color is the color of the author's name.

The baseurl is the path to the site, if you are running this at http://www.example.com/DarkFolio, baseurl would be DarkFolio. if you are running this at the root of your page, like http://www.example.com, don't include baseurl in your _config.yml

The email is optional, as it is not used yet.

The about is for a few sentences about you or the project. you can use HTML elements in it like <br> or <strong>.

The description is if you want to put your site on google. It would be the little bit of text shown.

Creating Posts

To create a post, add a file to the _posts directory named YYYY-MM-DD-TITLE.md, YYYY-MM-DD is the date. Y is year, M is month, and D is day. The TITLE is just for the path. Set it something short, like Welcome, or something long like Did-you-know-that-when-you-put-1-and-1-together-it-makes-2.

Within the file, add the following to the top:

---
layout: post
title:
description:
image:

The title is the displayed title for the post. The description is a small summary about the project. The image is the display image. The layout is not for modification.

Below the yaml added to the top, you can add your post content using markdown.
