Hi, I setup a brand new Jekyll project and run `jekyll s -l`  
I was able to change a markdown blog post and see the the changes in browser without hard refreshing but wasn’t able to see the change when I changed one of the html file in `_site/`.

I was under the impression that livereload would also work when html was changed.  
Would you please help? Thanks!

Mac OS 10.15.3  
Jekyll v4.0.0

I figured it out, I was editing the wrong file. ☹
