## Step 3: Customize your homepage ## Step 4: Create a blog post
_Nice work setting the theme! :sparkles:_ _Your home page is looking great! :cowboy_hat_face:_
You can customize your homepage by adding content to either an `index.md` file or the `README.md` file. GitHub Pages first looks for an `index.md` file. Your repository has an `index.md` file so we can update it to include your personalized content. GitHub Pages uses Jekyll. In Jekyll, we can create a blog by using specially named files and frontmatter. The files must be named `_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md`. You must also include `title` and `date` in your frontmatter.
### :keyboard: Activity: Create your homepage **What is _frontmatter_?**: The syntax Jekyll files use is called YAML frontmatter. It goes at the top of your file and looks something like this:
1. Browse to the `index.md` file in the `my-pages` branch. ```yml
1. In the upper right corner, open the file editor. ---
1. Type the content you want on your homepage. You can use Markdown formatting on this page. title: "Welcome to my blog"
1. (optional) You can also modify `title:` or just ignore it for now. We'll discuss it in the next step. date: 2019-01-20
1. Commit your changes to the `my-pages` branch. ---
```
For more information about configuring front matter, see the [Jekyll frontmatter documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/).
### :keyboard: Activity: Create a blog post
1. Browse to the `my-pages` branch.
1. Click the `Add file` dropdown menu and then on `Create new file`.
1. Name the file `_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md`.
1. Replace the `YYYY-MM-DD` with today's date, and change the `title` of your first blog post if you'd like.
> If you do edit the title, make sure there are hyphens between your words.
> If your blog post date doesn't follow the correct date convention, you'll receive an error and your site won't build. For more information, see "[Page build failed: Invalid post date](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/troubleshooting-jekyll-build-errors-for-github-pages-sites)".
1. Type the following content at the top of your blog post:
```yaml
---
title: "YOUR-TITLE"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
1. Replace `YOUR-TITLE` with the title for your blog post.
1. Replace `YYYY-MM-DD` with today's date.
1. Type a quick draft of your blog post. Remember, you can always edit it later.
1. Commit your changes to your branch.
