Jekyll HTML5 Boilerplate

This is a HTML5 boilerplate for the Jekyll blogging framework. It's built to be a bare-bones starter pack for developing a website using Jekyll. When I originally started using Jekyll, there was nothing to get me started, so I built it.

Features

The features it has are what I think are the essentials:

• HTML5 structure using semantic tags.
• Basic meta-information — charset, language (en).
• Social graph information (for Facebook, Reddit etc.).
• Basic HTML5 Microdata markup.
• Layouts for posts and pages.
• Blank PNG favicon and blank touch icons (iOS, Android).
• RSS feed.
• Sitemap.

How to use

1. Fork the repository, as described here

2. Modify the variables in _config.yml to suit your site.

3. Generate using Jekyll and start building your own site!

   jekyll serve --watch
