# Jekyll Now
Create your Jekyll blog in minutes, without touching the command line.
I wrote a more detailed walkthrough including details of a lot of the workflow benefits and intro to Jekyll here: [Getting Started With Jekyll](#). You can use the Setup guide below to try Jekyll Now out fast.
### Setup
##### Step 1) Fork Jekyll Now
I love starting out by forking first as you can get a feel for what Jekyll is like _extremely quickly_. You don't have to set up a local development environment, install dependancies and figure out how the Jekyll build process works to get your site up and running.
_Make to use yourgithubusername.github.io instead of souploaf.github.io!_
##### Step 2) Customize your site
You can now edit your site name, gravatar and other options using the _config.yml file.
##### Step 3) Publish your first blog post
Your site is customized and looking great. Now you just have to write that epic blog post!
_You can just hit the + icon in the _posts folder to create new content. Just make sure to include the [front-matter](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/) block at the top of each new blog post and make sure the post's filename is in this format: year-month-day-title.md
## Features
✓ Fully responsive and mobile optimized theme ([Theme Demo](http://jekyllkickstart.com))
✓ Workflow using GitHub.com to create, customize and post to your blog
✓ Host on your free GitHub Pages user site
✓ Blog in markdown!
✓ Syntax highlighting
✓ Disqus commenting
✓ Google Analytics integration
✓ Optional Grunt workflow for local development using SASS
✘ No setting up local development
✘ No installing dependancies
✘ No configuring plugins
✘ No need to spend time on theming
✘ No setting up hosting
✘ More time to code other things! ... wait that's a ✓
## More things you can do without touching the command line
#### Publish new content
To publish new blog posts, go into the _posts folder and click the New File button. Name your post in this format: year-month-day-Title.md, save it, and you're set!
(You can also publish new content via command line by git cloning down your repo, and pushing up your new markdown files)
#### Set up your domain name
Follow the latest [GitHub Pages Custom Domain Guide](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-pages) to set up your custom domain name. I've created the CNAME file already, so that you can easily edit it within the repository.
## Any questions?
[Open an Issue](https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now/issues/new) and let's chat!
## Get notified when I release new themes
If you'd like me to let you know when I release a new theme, just [drop me your email for updates](http://getresponse.com). I'm currently working on a personal portfolio site Jekyll Now theme.
