Splitting Jekyll files into partials
In this recipe, we will look at observing the don't repeat yourself principle. By separating our code into partials, and using Jekyll's front matter, we will achieve just that.
Getting ready

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <!-- Required meta tags --> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name...
