⇠ Back to Posts

Search First

I’m really wanting to quick put up some categoty pages, partly because it’s going to help me with summarizing my posts on the website configuration into a nice how-to, but also because it seems like a nice bow to tie up the work I’ve just been doing. So, search the web and find Brent McConnell who has some good code on setting up simple category pages in jekyll with the basic GitHub Pages allowed plugins.

Remix

I didn’t quite want what he’s done, but starting with his layout and shoehorn in what is basically my current Posts page layout, and I’ve got the layout I want more or less. I’ve only got three categories so his other code was a little much. I just created the folders that my posts in the category will land in and created index.md files in them, skipping the permalinks. Then, since I’ve got no sidebars, I scrounged the logic out of the category listing and put it at the top of my Posts page.

Touchups

While I was in there, I grabbed the link style from my Last Post link and added a “Back to Posts” at the top of the category layout and the post layout. Nothing all that fancy but I feel like the navigation is better now. Hooray! And, now I have my easy list for my roguelike category. Just six posts, a little depressing. The website has sixteen posts in it and I wish it didn’t. The website is definitely necessary for where I’m trying to go, but I’m trying not to let it be the point.
