Example Post

Posted by Alan Cleary on 24 January 2024

This is the primary example of a blog post and should be used as a reference for creating your own.

This is a blog post. As you may have noticed, the file extension in the source code is .md instead of .html. That’s because the post is written in Markdown and compiled by Jekyll into HTML. If there’s something you need to do that’s not supported by Markdown, don’t fret, Jekyll allows you to use HTML in Markdown files. Jekyll also supports the Liquid templating language in Markdown files so you can use it in your blog posts to better integrate them with the rest of your site.
