mdo/jekyll-snippets
Library of commonly used snippets for Jekyll sites.
A small collection of copy-paste Liquid/Jekyll snippets from the creator of Bootstrap's docs site. It covers the standard blog plumbing: post lists, pagination, reading time, Atom feed. For someone setting up a Jekyll site from scratch in 2015, this would have saved 20 minutes.
Each snippet is a single self-contained HTML file with no dependencies, so you can drop exactly what you need and ignore the rest. The pagination snippet includes the span/anchor/class detail that trip people up the first time. Coming from mdo (Bootstrap author), the patterns reflect real production Jekyll usage, not tutorial-level guesses.
Last touched in 2015 — Jekyll has had multiple major releases since, and the `paginate` plugin alone moved to `jekyll-paginate-v2` with a different config interface. The related-posts snippet uses date proximity, not tags or categories, which is a known Jekyll limitation but isn't called out. There's no Jekyll front matter or `_config.yml` context, so snippets like the Atom feed will silently produce wrong output if your site variables differ. With 21 forks and no activity in 11 years, this is effectively abandoned.
