More support for buildup #21

Closed hongyi-huang closed 4 years ago

hongyi-huang commented 4 years ago

You would be highly appreciated if you could offer more support for the following issues.

  1. I created a new .md file within /pages, and I supposed it should have be added to the website as a new page like 'about'. But it doesn't work. What more steps should I take?
  2. If I'd like to set a specific page as default page (it means if typing 'xxx.github.io', it would be directed to that default page), how can I make it? Thanks!

The first has been solved by stripping head spaces in front matter.

For your second inquiry,

The index.html in the project's root directory is the default page, add your content there and it will be displayed whenever you navigate to username.github.io _(as long as you have the baseurl empty in your _config.yml file)_.

Another way to achieve this, if you want to name your default file home.md instead of index.html or move it to a subfolder like pages/index.html, will be by setting the permalink to "/" in your front matter:

---
layout: default
permalink: /
---
