Your First Post on Bridgetown

You’ll find this post in your `_posts` directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `bin/bridgetown start`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated. Bridgetown requires blog post files to be named according to the following format: `YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.EXT` Where `YEAR` is a four-digit number, `MONTH` and `DAY` are both two-digit numbers, and `EXT` is the file extension representing the format used in the file (for example, `md` for Markdown). After that, include the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works. Bridgetown also offers powerful support for code snippets: ```ruby def print_hi(name) puts "Hi, #{name}" end print_hi('Tom') #=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT. ``` Check out the [Bridgetown docs](https://bridgetownrb.com/docs/) for more info on how to get the most out of Bridgetown.
