#### Adding comments to blog posts
If you want to enable comments on your blog posts, Beautiful Jekyll supports the [Disqus](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`.
#### Adding Google Analytics to track page views
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`.
#### Page types
- **post** - To write a blog post, place a file in the `_posts` folder and assign `layout: post` in the YAML front matter. Look at the existing blog post files to see the YAML parameters that blog posts can use.
- **page** - To add a non-blog page, place it in the root directory and assign `layout: page` in the YAML front matter. Look at `aboutme.md` and `index.html` as examples.
- **post** - To write a blog post, add a markdown or HTML file in the `_posts` folder and assign `layout: post` in the YAML front matter. Look at the existing blog post files to see examples of how to use YAML parameters in blog posts.
- **page** - To add a non-blog page, add a markdown or HTML file in the root directory and assign `layout: page` in the YAML front matter. Look at `aboutme.md` and `index.html` as examples.
- **minimal** - To add a random page with minimal styling (ie. without the bulky navigation bar and footer), assign `layout: minimal`.

If you want to use this theme for a project page for a specific repository instead of your main GitHub user page, that's no problem. The demo for this site ([daattali.github.io/beautiful-jekyll](http://deanattali.com/beautiful-jekyll)) is actually set up as a project page while my personal site ([daattali.github.io](http://deanattali.com)) is a regular user page. The only difference is that in the `_config.yml`, you should set `baseurl` to be `/projectname` instead of `""`.
To set up a GitHub Project page, simply fork this repository into a branch called `gh-pages` in your repository. Whatever is under the `gh-pages` branch will be served by Jekyll. Your site will be at `http://username.github.io/projectname/`.
