A blog

1. Fork this project

Fork this project by clicking the Fork button at the top right corner of this page. Forking means that you now copied this entire project and all the files into your account.

2. Rename the project to <yourusername>.github.io

Click on Settings at the top (the cog icon) and on that page you'll have an option to rename the project (Repository name). This will create a website with the Beautiful Jekyll template that will be available at https://<yourusername>.github.io within a couple minutes (check out the FAQ if you want to use a different project name). If after a few minutes your website is still not ready, try making any edit to any file, just to force GitHub to re-build your site.

3. Customize your website settings

Edit the _config.yml file to change any settings you want. To edit the file, click on it to view the file and then click on the pencil icon to edit it (watch the video tutorial above if you're confused). The settings in the file are self-explanatory and there are comments inside the file to help you understand what each setting does. Any line that begins with a hashtag (#) is a comment, and the other lines are actual settings.

Note that in the video above only one setting in the _config.yml file is edited. You should actually go through the rest of the settings as well. Don't be lazy, go through all the settings!

4. Congratulations! You have a website!
