Welcome! This repository hosts your personal research site built on Jekyll + Minimal theme. Below you’ll find everything you need to:

• Add new daily blog posts
• Edit your About Me, About My Mentors, and About My Project pages
• Manage images and assets
• Tweak your configuration (_config.yml)
• Run & deploy locally or to GitHub Pages

├── _config.yml           ← Site settings
├── _layouts/             ← Custom layouts (default, post, mentor, about, project, home)
├── _posts/               ← Daily blog posts (YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md)
├── pages/                ← Standalone pages (about-*.md, my-blog.md, index.md)
├── assets/
│   ├── css/style.scss    ← Your custom SCSS overrides
│   └── images/           ← Store profile, mentor, project, blog images here
└── README.md             ← This guide

Open _config.yml and set:

title: "YOUR NAME"  
description: "CEAMLS SAIRI Summer 2025 Research Site"  
remote_theme: pages-themes/[email protected]  
plugins:
  - jekyll-remote-theme
future: true            

1. Create a file in _posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-day-N.md (e.g. 2025-06-12-day-6.md).
2. Add Front Matter:

---
layout: post
title: "Day N – YOUR TITLE"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
author: YOUR NAME
---

3. Write your post content following the structure below:

### What I Learned
- …

### Blockers
- …

### Reflection
I feel…

Standalone pages live in pages/. Each uses a layout:

• About Me → layout: about
• About My Mentors → layout: mentor
• About My Project → layout: project

---
layout: about
title: About Me
permalink: /about-me.html

@import "{{ site.theme }}";

/* Your styles here */
.profile-card { /* ... */ }
.blog-toc a { /* ... */ }

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Just push to main. GitHub Pages will build your site automatically.

• Images: Store in assets/images.
• Blog TOC: Posts are grouped into weeks automatically.
• Layouts: Add new layouts in _layouts/, use them via layout: in the front matter.
• Front Matter: Always include correct date: so posts sort and display properly.
