Draft written based on LinkedIn profile.

Create branch off of gh-pages-dev and then add Bio to home page. Branch name is: write-bio-for-home-page-0007

[MarkWiltberger]

Added the text copy from LinkedIn for the Bio.

Also created a title line for the single project: "Realtor App Project"

Also changed the link to the project to regular body text instead of a heading.

Discovered that major headings need to be Heading 2 because Heading 1 is reserved for the title of a page with a 'page' layout.

[MarkWiltberger]

Discovered upon testing that with the current layout of 'page' for the home page, the title is repeated at the top of the page.

So for the home page this needs to be changed. It either repeats the first line of text of the page or it displays the title property, if thereis such a property.

So to make this fix better, it is time to start addressing the layouts.

The commit message for the changes done so far is: add Bio text to home page and add project title

[MarkWiltberger]

Added one-sentence description of project under the heading that names the project. Also modified the project heading text from 'Realtor App Project' to 'Realtor App REST API Project'. I will modify this heading later if there seems to be a better one, possibly if the project is renamed. For now, the project name corresponds with the navigation menu item, which is the page name, as it currently stands. The commit message for this change is: added text description of realtor app and changed project title text

Started to change the formatting of the pages so that the headings and menu items work together. Did more general changes to layout in addition to the Bio. First step was to copy over the standard layout files to the repository directory so that changes could be made to them. Copied the default layouts files so that the files may be customized. The _layouts directory is located here: C:\Users\markw\.local\share\gem\ruby\3.2.0\gems\minima-2.5.1 This is done in the following commit: copy standard layouts to new _layouts directory in repo

[MarkWiltberger]

Then changed the layout of index.md from 'page' to 'home'. This was the original layout for index.md. Changed in the following commit: change layout property from 'page' to 'home'

[MarkWiltberger]

Then for index.md changed the title property from 'Bio' to 'Mark Wiltberger | Software Engineer' to fix the problems with the title repeating in the first header and also because it is the more appropriate title for the home page. Done in the following commit: `change title property from 'Bio' to name and job title

[MarkWiltberger]

Removed the blog post listing from the home layout, which removes it from the home page of the site, with the following commit: remove blog post listing from home layout
