Hi, hopefully not spamming anyone.

I tried to preview my blog but Jekyll didn’t “upload” my blog onto localhost. I can’t decode the traceback code please help me. Thanks in advance.

Could you post the contents of your config file?

Here you go. Thank you.

  Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this
  line in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for
  Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description.
baseurl: "" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog
url: "" # the base hostname & protocol for your site, e.g. http://example.com

it may not solve your problem, but lookiing at your permalink, and that should not have “.md” at the end,

The above configuration is wrong in many ways.

  • You should understand that YAML is indentation-sensitive.
  • Moreover, the defaults setting is a list of minimum two top-level keys: scope and values.
  • Finally, permalink is a template for the generated HTML files. So like @michaelbach mentioned, you shouldn’t have .md there but either .html or the placeholder :output_ext.

Therefore the corrected config would be:

defaults:
  - scope:
      path: "" # all files
    values:
      permalink: "/:title:output_ext"

Thank you. Your solution worked.
