This pull request looks great so far. ✨ You've just edited the _config.yml file! As you work more with Jekyll, you'll see that the _config.yml file is very important and can hold a lot of information.
We have some more work to do to create your blog. You can continue to make commits on your rahmot-patch-2 branch, and the pull request will update automatically.
⌨️ Activity: Add some content to your blog
-
On the "Code" tab, select your
rahmot-patch-2branch -
Click Create new file
-
Name the file
_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md, but replace theYYYY-MM-DDwith today's date, andtitlewith the title you'd like to use for your first blog post- Jekyll is very particular about how you title blog posts. They must follow the convention shown above.

Step 7: Add blog post metadata
Your blog post is looking good - the naming can be tricky, but you got it right!
Just like the _config.yml file had some special syntax, files in Jekyll use some special syntax, too. This special syntax is called YAML front matter. It goes at the top of your file and looks something like this:
---
title: "Welcome to my blog"
date: 2019-01-20
---This example will add a title and date to your blog post. There are other useful things you could add here in the future, like layouts, categories, or any other logic that is useful to you. You can read more about that here.
⌨️ Activity: Add Front Matter
-
Click the "Files Changed" tab in this pull request
-
Click on the pencil icon on the right side of the screen
-
Add the following content to the top of your blog post:
--- title: "YOUR-TITLE" date: YYYY-MM-DD --- -
Replace YOUR-TITLE with a great title for your blog post
-
Replace YYYY-MM-DD with today's date
-
