title: Testing Jekyll

Hello. This is me exploring Jekyll as a blog platform.
I like that everything is a text file.
I like that it picks up files in the _posts folder automatically.
I like that when hosting on Github there is nothing to run - it just all works magically.
I like that you can write posts as either .md files or .html. Or embed bits of html in the markdown, as I'm doing here.
I like that you can include javascript canvas elements:
I like that it knows about code syntax highlighting:
{% highlight c++ %}
#include
int main()
{
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
{% endhighlight %}
