Header for another set of blogs in the same site

[im-coder-lg]

How do you add a separate page as a header(i figured this one out) as well as add a separate set of blogs to it? For example, I wanna start a separate blog where I add code. How do I do that? I found out how to add the header page. How can I include a set of code used for the home page that will help me add blogs separately and not mix them in the home page?

You want to have two types of articles in one blog:

• Normal article with in _posts
• Other "code" article that don't mix with the posts

Am I understanding you correctly? If so you could try to use the portfolio functionality?

I don't want the portfolio because to use it, I need to make a picture to add it. I want it to appear just like the home screen blog. How do I do that?

Use categories for that.

What is categories?

[danisztls]

A field that you can put on the front matter of blogs posts. You can use the categories as any other field on the permalink.

[im-coder-lg]

Well, how do you use it then?

[im-coder-lg]

What I am trying to tell is that if I have a new page in my blog, and added a header page, how do I put the posts in that page only?

[danisztls]

You need to mess with pagination. There's a plugin for that but it will not work with GH Pages. What you can do is write a fac-simile using Liquid only that filter for the desired category. You can use a if inside a for loop to do that.

Any simple method?

Or at least how to redirect via header page?

You can use jekyll collections (In this theme portfolio is a collection but you can add another one and custom it so that it fits your needs)

You could do it in two repo hosted on github page one showing your code and the other one your blog and add links between the two pages. But that will require some customization as well.

[im-coder-lg]

That works, but how can I add a header page? That is confusing to me.

[im-coder-lg]

Any code for adding?

Found a solution via collections. Thanks!

Awesome 👍 You can reference it here, if someone is having the same question as you, I'm sure they'll be glad to see your stuff!
