New Site build unsuccessful

Help

Hi all,

I’m following this guide - http://jmcglone.com/guides/github-pages/

Around step 13 of the guide it doesn’t work for me. I’ve got nothing here - https://stevepugmire.github.io/blog/

And can’t figure out why.

I’ve tried to tweak a few things, but don’t want to mess with too much because it’s been a few years since I’ve coded things. All I really want to do is set up a blog here, and am just generally testing things to create my own domain down the line (to probably use a JAMstack with)… which I think Jekyll is good for if I remember correctly.

Any help anyone can give me is much appreciated. Thank you.

By “I’ve got nothing here” do you mean there are no posts shown?

If yes the issue is probably how you’ve named this folder https://github.com/stevepugmire/stevepugmire.github.io/tree/master/posts

Should be _posts with an underscore.

I would suggest building your site locally first to verify everything is working, then you can push up to GitHub. They have a tutorial on installing the github-pages gem to allow you to mimic the GH Pages hosting environment to help you catch errors and what not.
