I use Jekyll Now template and host it on Github Pages to run my blog. [To be included in R-bloggers] I need to create an Atom (RSS) feed.

I found that there is a plugin for that, which is supposed to work for [Github Pages](https://help.github.com/articles/atom-rss-feeds-for-github-pages/). I tried to simply include it to \_config.yml file in `gems` section. I did not work (meaning no feed.xml file was generated). I thought it might be due to a new version of Jekyll and change `gems` to `plugins`, but the file was still not generated.

What am I missing?
