Using Jekyll

After following the instructions on the Home Page of the wiki, there are a few things you'll need to know to make updates:

Relative vs. absolute paths

When you clone the master branch for local development:

1. When editing on your local machine, you'll have to change the entry in "_data/path.yml" from '/2016.code4lib.org/' to '/'. Make sure your _data/path.yml file is in the .gitignore file and the only content in the path.yml file is: '/'.
2. When using absolute paths in your html, use "{{ site.data.path }}absolute/path/to/whatever"
