Customizing Your Site

After installation, you can start customizing your site. Edit your _config.yml file to set site title, description, and other configurations. Start adding content to the _posts folder to create blog posts.

Understanding the Code Structure

The code structure of your Jekyll site using the ET-Jekyll theme is like a well-organized library. Imagine each section of your library represents a different aspect of your website:

• The _config.yml is your library’s catalog, where you set the rules and overall organization.
• The _posts folder is your collection of books (blog posts) that contain valuable information.
• The _layouts folder provides different layouts for the books, determining how they are displayed on the shelves (web pages).

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while using the ET-Jekyll theme, here are some solutions:

• Site not building: Ensure you have the correct version of Jekyll and other dependencies installed.
• Styling issues: Check if your CSS files are properly linked in the head of your HTML files.
