Page types

• post - To write a blog post, add a markdown or HTML file in the _posts folder. As long as you give it YAML front matter (the two lines of three dashes), it will automatically be rendered like a blog post. Look at the existing blog post files to see examples of how to use YAML parameters in blog posts.
• page - Any page outside the _posts folder that uses YAML front matter will have a very similar style to blog posts.
• minimal - If you want to create a page with minimal styling (ie. without the bulky navigation bar and footer), assign layout: minimal to the YAML front matter.
• If you want to completely bypass the template engine and just write your own HTML page, simply omit the YAML front matter. Only do this if you know how to write HTML!

YAML front matter parameters

These are the main parameters you can place inside a page's YAML front matter that Beautiful Jekyll supports.

Parameter	Description
title	Page or blog post title
subtitle	Short description of page or blog post that goes under the title
tags	List of tags to categorize the post. Separate the tags with commas and place them inside square brackets. Example: [personal, self help, finance]
bigimg	Include a large full-width image at the top of the page. You can either give the path to a single image, or provide a list of images to cycle through (see my personal website as an example).
comments	If you want do add Disqus comments to a specific page, use comments: true. Comments are automatically enabled on blog posts; to turn comments off for a specific post, use comments: false. Comments only work if you set your Disqus id in the _config.yml file.
show-avatar	If you have an avatar configured in the _config.yml but you want to turn it off on a specific page, use show-avatar: false. If you want to turn it off by default, locate the line show-avatar: true in the file _config.yml and change the true to false; then you can selectively turn it on in specific pages using show-avatar: true.
image	If you want to add a personalized image to your blog post that will show up next to the post's excerpt and on the post itself, use image: /path/to/img.
share-img	If you want to specify an image to use when sharing the page on Facebook or Twitter, then provide the image's full URL here.
social-share	If you don't want to show buttons to share a blog post on social media, use social-share: false (this feature is turned on by default).
use-site-title	If you want to use the site title rather than page title as HTML document title (ie. browser tab title), use use-site-title: true. When set, the document title will take the format Site Title - Site Description (eg. My website - A virtual proof that name is awesome!). By default, it will use Page Title if it exists, or Site Title otherwise.
layout	What type of page this is (default is post for blog posts and page for other pages. You can use minimal if you don't want a header and footer)
js	List of local JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. /js/mypage.js)
ext-js	List of external JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.2/underscore-min.js). External JavaScript files that support Subresource Integrity (SRI) can be specified using the href and sri parameters eg. href: "//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js" sri: "sha256-hVVnYaiADRTO2PzUGmuLJr8BLUSjGIZsDYGmIJLv2b8="
css	List of local CSS files to include in the page
ext-css	List of external CSS files to include in the page. External CSS files using SRI (see ext-js parameter) are also supported.
googlefonts	List of Google fonts to include in the page (eg. ["Monoton", "Lobster"])
gh-repo	If you want to show GitHub buttons at the top of a post, this sets the GitHub repo name (eg. daattali/beautiful-jekyll). You must also use the gh-badge parameter to specify what buttons to show.
gh-badge	Select which GitHub buttons to display, available options are: [star, watch, fork, follow]. You must also use the gh-repo parameter to specify the GitHub repo.

How do I move the blog to another page instead of having it on the home page?

The default style of Beautiful Jekyll is to feature the blog feed on the front page. But for many sites that's not the ideal structure, and you may want to have a separate dedicated page for the blog posts. To have the blog hosted on a different URL (for example at <mysite.com>/blog), copy the index.html file into a folder with the same name as the desired page (for example, to blog/index.html), and in the _config.yml file you need to add a parameter paginate_path: "/<page name>/page:num/" (for example paginate_path: "/blog/page:num/").
