staging area for post

[yonicd]

what is the best way to preview a post on the blog without it being public? (sorry if newbie question)

Copy and paste your code here: http://prose.io/

thank you, but that i can do w/in github by going to the file itself. I meant to see the post fully rendered in something like a preview area, and when it is ready make it public.

i guess it would be something similar to blogdown::serve_site, but that seems hardcoded for only bolgdown projects

If you want to make something truly private for the preview, that can only be done if you install jekyll locally on a unix box. But this theme is focused on being used directly from github and being fully online so I personally don't do that. When I want to preview a page before publishing it, I create it in a temporary page instead of placing it inside the _posts folder. For example I ofyrn create a test.md file which is technically public but it doesn't get published in the feed sp nobody knows about it, and I check deanattali.com/test to see how it comes out. When I'm happy with it I simply rename the file to move it into the _posts folder. It may not be ideal but it's simple and works well for my purposes
