-# This config file is meant for settings that affect your whole blog, values

-# yourself editing this file very often, consider using Jekyll's data files
-# feature for the data you need to update frequently.
-#
-# For technical reasons, this file is *NOT* reloaded automatically when you use
-# 'bundle exec jekyll serve'. If you change this file, please restart the server process.

-# Site settings
-# These are used to personalize your new site. If you look in the HTML files,
-# you will see them accessed via {{ site.title }}, {{ site.email }}, and so on.
-# You can create any custom variable you would like, and they will be accessible
-# in the templates via {{ site.myvariable }}.
