## Prerequisites
- You need to have a GitHub account. If you don't have one, [sign up here](https://github.com/join) - it takes one minute. This is where your website will live - if you sign up with username `johnsmith` then your website will be `http://johnsmith.github.io`.
- It would be helpful to understand what Markdown is and how to write it. Markdown is just a way to take a piece of text and format it to look a little nicer. For example, this whole instruction set that you're reading is written in markdown - it's just text with some words being bold/larger/italicized/etc. I recommend taking 5 minutes to learn markdown [with this amazingly easy yet useful tutorial](http://markdowntutorial.com/).
## Build your website in 3 steps
Getting started is *literally* as easy as 1-2-3 :smile:
Scroll down to see the steps involved, but here is a 40-second video just as a reference as you work through the steps.
To use this theme's gem, you need to first have a functioning Jekyll website. If you don't, there are many resources online for how to set up a Jekyll site. Here are the basic commands to get a minimal Jekyll site set up in Ubuntu:
![Installation steps](img/install-steps.gif)
```
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev make gcc
$ sudo gem install jekyll bundler
$ jekyll new ~/mysite
```
### 1. Fork this repository
## Installation
(Assuming you are on this page and logged into GitHub) Fork this repository by clicking the *Fork* button on the top right corner. Forking means that you now copied this whole project and all the files into your account.
To use the Beautiful-Jekyll theme, add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`:
### 2. Rename the repository to `<yourusername>.github.io`
```ruby
gem "beautiful-jekyll-theme", "1.1.1"
```
This will create a GitHub User page ready with the **Beautiful Jekyll** template that will be available at `http://<yourusername>.github.io` within a couple minutes. To do this, click on *Settings* at the top (the cog icon) and there you'll have an option to rename.
Then add this line to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml`:
### 3. Customize your website settings
```yaml
theme: beautiful-jekyll-theme
```
Edit the `_config.yml` file to change all the settings to reflect your site. To edit the file, click on it and then click on the pencil icon (watch the video tutorial above if you're confused). The settings in the file are fairly self-explanatory and I added comments inside the file to help you further. Any line that begins with a pound sign (`#`) is a comment, and the rest of the lines are actual settings.
And finally execute:
Another way to edit the config file (or any other file) is to use [prose.io](http://prose.io/), which is just a simple interface to allow you to more intuitively edit files or add new files to your project.
```
$ bundle
```
After you save your changes to the config file (by clicking on *Commit changes* as the video tutorial shows), your website should be ready in a minute or two at `http://<yourusername>.github.io`. Every time you make a change to any file, your website will get rebuilt and should be updated in about a minute or so.
To preview your site, run `bundle exec jekyll serve` (optionally with the `--host 0.0.0.0` flag if needed) and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000`.
You can now visit your shiny new website, which will be seeded with several sample blog posts and a couple other pages. Your website is at `http://<yourusername>.github.io` (replace `<yourusername>` with your user name). Do not add `www` to the URL - it will not work!
## Usage
**Note:** The video above goes through the setup for a user with username `daattalitest`. I only edited one setting in the `_config.yml` file in the video, but **you should actually go through the rest of the settings as well. Don't be lazy, go through all the settings :)**
Using Beautiful-Jekyll is very simple, but you should take a few minutes to read through the features it supports to learn how to use it.
## Add your own content
### Adding content
To add pages to your site, you can either write a markdown file (`.md`) or you can write an HTML file directly. It is much easier to write markdown than HTML, so I suggest you do that (use the [tutorial I mentioned above](http://markdowntutorial.com/) if you need to learn markdown). You can look at some files on this site to get an idea of how to write markdown. To look at existing files, click on any file that ends in `.md`, for example [`aboutme.md`](./aboutme.md). On the next page you can see some nicely formatted text (there is a word in bold, a link, bullet points), and if you click on the pencil icon to edit the file, you will see the markdown that generated the pretty text. Very easy!
You can now start adding pages to your site. Beautiful-Jekyll supports three layouts: `post`, `page`, and `minimal`. In order to use Beautiful-Jekyll's template, a page must have its `layout` parameter set to one of these options in the YAML.
In contrast, look at [`index.html`](./index.html). That's how your write HTML - not as pretty. So stick with markdown if you don't know HTML.
Any blog posts (pages under the `_posts` directory) should use the `post` layout, while most other pages should use the `page` layout. You can use the `minimal` layout if you want a page with minimal styling, without the bulky navigation bar and footer.
Any file that you add inside the [`_posts`](./_posts) directory will be treated as a blog entry. You can look at the existing files there to get an idea of how to write blog posts. After you successfully add your own post, you can delete the existing files inside [`_posts`](./_posts) to remove the sample posts, as those are just demo posts to help you learn.
Instead of remembering to manually add the layout parameter to every page's YAML, I recommend you add the following lines to your `_config.yml` so that all blog posts will automatically have layout `post` and all other pages will have layout `page`:
As mentioned previously, you can use [prose.io](http://prose.io/) to add or edit files instead of doing it directly on GitHub, it can be a little easier that way.
```yaml
defaults:
-
scope:
path: ""
type: "posts"
values:
layout: "post"
-
scope:
path: ""
values:
layout: "page"
```
## Last important thing: YAML front matter ("parameters" for a page)
### Adding an index page
In order to have your new pages use this template and not just be plain pages, you need to add [YAML front matter](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/) to the top of each page. This is where you'll give each page some parameters that I made available, such as a title and subtitle. I'll go into more detail about what parameters are available later. If you don't want to use any parameters on your new page (this also means having no title), then use the empty YAML front matter:
Feel free to create the index page (homepage) of your site however you'd like. If you want to have an index page similar to the one at [deanattali.com](http://deanattali.com), then create `index.html` as follows:
```
```html
---
layout: page
title: My Website
subtitle: Some short description of my site
---
```
If you want to use any parameters, write them between the two lines. For example, you can have this at the top of a page:
subtitle: Here you'll find all the ways to get in touch with me
---
```
You can look at the top of [`aboutme.md`](./aboutme.md) or [`index.html`](./index.html) as more examples.
**Important takeaway: ALWAYS add the YAML front matter, which is two lines with three dashes, to EVERY page. If you have any parameters, they go between the two lines.**
If you don't include YAML then your file will not use the template.
You'll also need to add these lines to your `_config.yml` because the code above uses pagination:
## Features
### Mobile-first
**Beautiful Jekyll** is designed to look great on both large-screen and small-screen (mobile) devices. Load up your site on your phone or your gigantic iMac, and the site will work well on both, though it will look slightly different.
### Customizable
```yaml
paginate: 5
gems:
- jekyll-paginate
```
Many personalization settings in `_config.yml`, such as setting your name and site's description, setting your avatar to add a little image in the navigation bar, customizing the links in the menus, customizing what social media links to show in the footer, etc.
Make sure there is no `index.md` file (if there is one, then delete it).
### Allowing users to leave comments
### Creating a navigation bar
If you want to enable comments on your site, Beautiful Jekyll supports the [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) comments plugin. To use it, simply sign up to Disqus and add your Disqus shortname to the `disqus` parameter in the `_config.yml`.
Add these lines to your `_config.yml` file to get a demo navigation bar:
If the `disqus` parameter is set in the configuration file, then all blog posts will have comments turned on by default. To turn off comments on a particular blog post, add `comments: false` to the YAML front matter. If you want to add comments on the bottom of a non-blog page, add `comments: true` to the YAML front matter.
Change these values to match the pages on your site. Each menu item is composed of a `key:value` pair, where the `key` is the text that shows up in the navigation bar, and `value` is the URL to link to. The URL can either be the name of a page on your site (eg. `""` will go to your homepage, `aboutme` will go to a page called `aboutme` on your site), or a URL to an external site beginning in `http`. If you want to define sub-menus, use the format that the `Resources` menu is using in the sample code above.
Beautiful Jekyll lets you easily add Google Analytics to all your pages. This will let you track all sorts of information about visits to your website, such as how many times each page is viewed and where (geographically) your users come from. To add Google Analytics, simply sign up to [Google Analytics](http://www.google.com/analytics/) to obtain your Google Tracking ID, and add this tracking ID to the `google_analytics` parameter in `_config.yml`.
#### Displaying an image in the navigation bar
### Sharing blog posts on social media
You can add an image to the middle of the navigation bar by defining the `avatar` parameter in `_config.yml`. The image should be a square (width = height). This image will disappear once the user scrolls down in the page.
By default, all blog posts will have buttons at the bottom of the post to allow people to share the current page on Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn. You can choose to enable/disable specific social media websites in the `_config.yml` file. You can also turn off the social media buttons on specific blog posts using `social-share: false` in the YAML front matter.
```yaml
avatar: "/path/to/image.png"
```
### RSS feed
You can also place an image in the top-left corner of the navigation bar instead of your website's title. This is done with the `title-img` parameter in `_config.yml`:
Beautiful Jekyll automatically generates a simple RSS feed of your blog posts, to allow others to subscribe to your posts. If you want to add a link to your RSS feed in the footer of every page, find the `rss: false` line in `_config.yml` and change it to `rss: true`.
```yaml
title-img: "/path/to/image.png"
```
### Page types
### Add your name/email/social media links to the footer
You can add contact information and social media links in the footer. They will be displayed as nice little logos, to give the footer a clean feel. Add the following to your `_config.yml` file:
```yaml
author:
name: Some Person
email: "youremail@domain.com"
facebook: yourname # eg. daattali
github: yourname # eg. daattali
twitter: yourname # eg. daattali
telephone: yourphone # eg. +14159998888
reddit: yourname # eg. daattali
google-plus: +yourname # eg. +DeanAttali or 109424658772469020925
linkedin: yourname # eg. daattali
xing: yourname # eg. daattali
stackoverflow: yourlink # eg. "3943160/daattali"
snapchat: yourname # eg. daattali
instagram: yourname # eg. daattali
youtube: yourlink # eg. user/daattali or channel/daattali
spotify: yourname # eg. daattali
```
- **post** - To write a blog post, add a markdown or HTML file in the `_posts` folder. As long as you give it YAML front matter (the two lines of three dashes), it will automatically be rendered like a blog post. Look at the existing blog post files to see examples of how to use YAML parameters in blog posts.
- **page** - Any page outside the `_posts` folder that uses YAML front matter will have a very similar style to blog posts.
- **minimal** - If you want to create a page with minimal styling (ie. without the bulky navigation bar and footer), assign `layout: minimal` to the YAML front matter.
- If you want to completely bypass the template engine and just write your own HTML page, simply omit the YAML front matter. Only do this if you know how to write HTML!
Remove the lines that you don't want to display in the footer, and change `yourname` to the correct values in the links you want to keep.
### YAML front matter parameters
#### Add an RSS feed link to the footer
These are the main parameters you can place inside a page's YAML front matter that **Beautiful Jekyll** supports.
You can add an icon that will link to an RSS feed of your blog by including the following parameter in `_config.yml`:
Parameter | Description
----------- | -----------
title | Page or blog post title
subtitle | Short description of page or blog post that goes under the title
bigimg | Include a large full-width image at the top of the page. You can either give the path to a single image, or provide a list of images to cycle through (see [my personal website](http://deanattali.com/) as an example).
comments | If you want do add Disqus comments to a specific page, use `comments: true`. Comments are automatically enabled on blog posts; to turn comments off for a specific post, use `comments: false`. Comments only work if you set your Disqus id in the `_config.yml` file.
show-avatar | If you have an avatar configured in the `_config.yml` but you want to turn it off on a specific page, use `show-avatar: false`. If you want to turn it off by default, locate the line `show-avatar: true` in the file `_config.yml` and change the `true` to `false`; then you can selectively turn it on in specific pages using `show-avatar: true`.
share-img | If you want to specify an image to use when sharing the page on Facebook or Twitter, then provide the image's full URL here.
social-share | If you don't want to show buttons to share a blog post on social media, use `social-share: false` (this feature is turned on by default).
layout | What type of page this is (default is `blog` for blog posts and `page` for other pages. You can use `minimal` if you don't want a header and footer)
js | List of local JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. `/js/mypage.js`)
ext-js | List of external JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. `//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.2/underscore-min.js`)
css | List of local CSS files to include in the page
ex-css | List of external CSS files to include in the page
googlefonts | List of Google fonts to include in the page (eg. `["Monoton", "Lobster"]`)
### Advanced features (including how to use a custom URL address for your site)
I wrote [a blog post](http://deanattali.com/2015/03/12/beautiful-jekyll-how-to-build-a-site-in-minutes/) describing some more advanced features that I used in my website that are applicable to any Jekyll site. It describes how I used a custom URL for my site (deanattali.com instead of daattali.github.io), how to add a Google-powered search into your site, and provides a few more details about having an RSS feed.
```yaml
rss-footer: true
```
## Creating a User Page vs a Project Page
#### Add your website's name to the footer
If you're not sure what the difference is, you can probably safely ignore this section.
After all the contact info links, you can also add the name of your website by defining the `url-pretty` parameter in `_config.yml`:
If you want to use this theme to host a website that will be available at `https://YOURUSERNAME.github.io`, then you do not need to read this section. That is called a User Page, you can only have one User Page in your GitHub account, and it is what you get by default when forking this project.
```yaml
url-pretty: "MyWebsite.com"
```
If you want to use this theme to create a website for a particular repository, it will be available at `https://YOURUSERNAME.github.io/REPONAME`, and that is called a [Project Page](https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/). You can have a Project Page for each repository you have on GitHub. There are two important things to note when creating a project page:
### Buttons for sharing blog posts on social media
1. In the configuration file (`_config.yml`), you should set `baseurl` to be `/projectname` instead of `""`.
2. Project Pages are served from a branch named `gh-pages`, and you should be generating all the website content on that branch. When you fork Beautiful Jekyll, you'll already have a `gh-pages` branch but you should delete it and generate it again from the `master` branch. The reason is that the `gh-pages` branch in its current form does not have the updated code of Beautiful Jekyll, so you need to create that branch from the `master` branch (which is where all my new features and work go into).
By default, every blog post will have buttons at the bottom for sharing the page on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+. If you want to disable these buttons, add these lines to your `_config.yml`:
## Showcased users (success stories!)
```yaml
share-links-active:
twitter: false
facebook: false
google: false
linkedin: false
```
To my huge surprise, Beautiful Jekyll has been used in over 500 websites in its first 6 months alone! Here is a hand-picked selection of some websites that use Beautiful Jekyll.
These settings will remove all four buttons. You can use `true` instead of `false` for any buttons that you want to keep.
Want your website featured here? [Contact me](http://deanattali.com/aboutme#contact) to let me know about your website.
### Allowing users to leave comments
### Project/company websites
If you want to enable comments on your site, Beautiful-Jekyll supports the [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) comments plugin. To use it, simply sign up to Disqus and add your Disqus shortname (**not** the userid) to the `disqus` parameter in `_config.yml`:
Beautiful-Jekyll lets you easily add Google Analytics to all your pages. This will allow you to track all sorts of information about visits to your website, such as how many times each page is viewed and where (geographically) your users come from. To add Google Analytics, simply sign up to [Google Analytics](http://www.google.com/analytics/) to obtain your Google Tracking ID, and add this tracking ID to the `google_analytics` parameter in `_config.yml`:
```yaml
google_analytics: yourid
```
## Advanced: Local development using Docker
### YAML parameter you can use to personalize each page
Beautiful Jekyll is meant to be so simple to use that you can do it all within the browser. However, if you'd like to develop locally on your own machine, that's possible too if you're comfortable with command line. Follow these simple steps to do that with Docker:
These are all the parameters you can place inside a page's YAML front matter that Beautiful-Jekyll supports.
1. Make sure that you have Docker installed on your local environment. Installation instructions can be found [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
2. Clone your fork `git clone git@github.com:yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git`
3. Inside your repository folder, run:
Parameter | Description
----------- | -----------
layout | What type of page this is (default is `blog` for blog posts and `page` for other pages. You can use `minimal` if you don't want a header and footer).
title | Page or blog post title.
subtitle | Short description of page or blog post that goes under the title.
bigimg | Include a large full-width image at the top of the page. You can either give the path to a single image, or provide a list of images to cycle through (see [my personal website](http://deanattali.com/) as an example).
comments | Only applicable if the `disqus` parameter is set in the `_config.yml` file. All blog posts automatically have comments enabled. To enable comments on a specific page, use `comments: true`; to turn comments off for a specific blog post, use `comments: false`.
social-share | If you don't want to show buttons to share a blog post on social media, use `social-share: false` (this feature is turned on by default).
share-img | If you want to specify an image to use when sharing the page on Facebook or Twitter, then provide the image's full URL here.
image | If you want to add a personalized image to your blog post that will show up next to the post's excerpt and on the post itself, use `image: /path/to/img.png`.
js | List of local JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. `/js/mypage.js`)
ext-js | List of external JavaScript files to include in the page (eg. `//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.2/underscore-min.js`)
css | List of local CSS files to include in the page
ex-css | List of external CSS files to include in the page
googlefonts | List of Google fonts to include in the page (eg. `["Monoton", "Lobster"]`)
Disclaimer: I personally am NOT using local development so I don't know much about running Jekyll locally. If you follow this route, please don't ask me questions because unfortunately I honestly won't be able to help!
Aditionally, if you choose to deploy Jekyll using a local ruby installation, you can tell Jekyll to automatically categorize your blog posts by tags. You just need to set `link-tags: true` in `_config.yml`. Jekyll will then generate a new page for each unique tag which lists all of the posts that belong to that tag.

If you do fork or clone this project to use as a template for your site, I would appreciate if you keep the link in the footer to this project. I've noticed that several people who forked this repo removed the attribution and I would prefer to get the recognition if you do use this :)
## Known limitations
- If you have a project page and you want a custom 404 page, you must have a custom domain. See https://help.github.com/articles/custom-404-pages/. This means that if you have a regular User Page you can use the 404 page from this theme, but if it's a website for a specific repository, the 404 page will not be used.

Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents.
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer,[2] is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport.[3][4][5][6] The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal.
The goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms while it is in play and then only in their penalty area. Outfield players mostly use their feet to strike or pass the ball, but may use their head or torso to strike the ball instead. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is level at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout depending on the format of the competition. The Laws of the Game were originally codified in England by The Football Association in 1863. Association football is governed internationally by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA; French: Fédération Internationale de Football Association) which organises a World Cup every four years.[7]
What is it with that Mary girl? Dragging me to school every day. As if I had a choice. What you don't hear in those nursery rhymes is that she starves me if I don't go to school with her; it's the only way I can stay alive! I'm thinking about being adopted by Little Bo Peep, sure I may get lost, but anything is better than being with Mary and those little brats at school (shudder, shudder).
You can write regular [markdown](http://markdowntutorial.com/) here and Jekyll will automatically convert it to a nice webpage. I strongly encourage you to [take 5 minutes to learn how to write in markdown](http://markdowntutorial.com/) - it'll teach you how to transform regular text into bold/italics/headings/tables/etc.
Under what circumstances should we step off a path? When is it essential that we finish what we start? If I bought a bag of peanuts and had an allergic reaction, no one would fault me if I threw it out. If I ended a relationship with a woman who hit me, no one would say that I had a commitment problem. But if I walk away from a seemingly secure route because my soul has other ideas, I am a flake?
The truth is that no one else can definitively know the path we are here to walk. It’s tempting to listen—many of us long for the omnipotent other—but unless they are genuine psychic intuitives, they can’t know. All others can know is their own truth, and if they’ve actually done the work to excavate it, they will have the good sense to know that they cannot genuinely know anyone else’s. Only soul knows the path it is here to walk. Since you are the only one living in your temple, only you can know its scriptures and interpretive structure.
At the heart of the struggle are two very different ideas of success—survival-driven and soul-driven. For survivalists, success is security, pragmatism, power over others. Success is the absence of material suffering, the nourishing of the soul be damned. It is an odd and ironic thing that most of the material power in our world often resides in the hands of younger souls. Still working in the egoic and material realms, they love the sensations of power and focus most of their energy on accumulation. Older souls tend not to be as materially driven. They have already played the worldly game in previous lives and they search for more subtle shades of meaning in this one—authentication rather than accumulation. They are often ignored by the culture at large, although they really are the truest warriors.
A soulful notion of success rests on the actualization of our innate image. Success is simply the completion of a soul step, however unsightly it may be. We have finished what we started when the lesson is learned. What a fear-based culture calls a wonderful opportunity may be fruitless and misguided for the soul. Staying in a passionless relationship may satisfy our need for comfort, but it may stifle the soul. Becoming a famous lawyer is only worthwhile if the soul demands it. It is an essential failure if you are called to be a monastic this time around. If you need to explore and abandon ten careers in order to stretch your soul toward its innate image, then so be it. Flake it till you make it.
