Quick-start guide

For the impatient, here’s how to get a boilerplate Jekyll site up and running.

~ $ gem install jekyll
~ $ jekyll new myblog
~ $ cd myblog
~/myblog $ jekyll serve
# => Now browse to http://localhost:4000

That’s nothing, though. The real magic happens when you start creating blog posts, using the front matter to control templates and layouts, and taking advantage of all the awesome configuration options Jekyll makes available.

If you’re running into problems, ensure you have all the requirements installed.
