This is a starter kit for making an academic webpage using github pages. It is based on my personal website, hosted at www.jabranham.com.

Feel free to fork this project in order to get your own site going (I have a blog post that should help you get started), but please note the license (below).

Here's a list of things you'll probably want to do right away:

• Change the personal information in the _config.yml file (name, email, description, etc)
• Update the index.md file to whatever you want. This is the "homepage" for your website.
• Create whatever subpages you want. I've included teaching.md as an example template. So that would be served at www.yousite.com/teaching.
• Change the page links in _includes/header.html to go to the pages you just created in the above step. These will also be displayed along the top of your site.

That's probably enough to get started right away. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
