Custom home page and blog to /news

[julien51]

Hi!

Is it possible to use a specific home page that won't list posts but then send posts to /news/ ?

Thanks!

Try this:

Create a folder news with an index.html file in it, and copy the content from the default index page to the one you created in the news folder.

edit _config.yml

permalink: /news/:title/
paginate_path: '/news/page:num'
https://github.com/lovellfelix/lovellfelix.com/blob/jekyll/_config.yml#L62

Lastly put whatever you want on the home page.

I hope this helps. :)

I am getting ready to convert my website to Jekyll I've been working on it over the past few days. It's in wild stage, but you can use it as referrence if you like.

Hey @julien51,

This is something I could consider including in upcoming versions. For example Adroll used jekyll-incorporated for their engineering site, and they created a separate homepage for it: http://tech.adroll.com/
