As a new user to jekyll I wanted to get up and running as quickly as possible. The first thing I did was jump to the docs (missing the example on the homepage - my bad) and look for the quick start guide. Since I couldn't find one I went for the 'Basic Usage' section. I ended up muddling around for about 10 minutes until I hit the home page again to see the simple - and very easy - example of how to get started. So, in this pull request I've moved the Quick-start Guide out to it's own section so that users who really are impatient (like me) can clearly look for and jump to the quick start guide, follow the super-easy steps, and be up and running in a matter of minutes. Interested to hear if this is thought of as being a good idea.

For the impatient, here's how to get a boilerplate Jekyll site up and running.
|
|
|
|
{% highlight bash %}
|
|
~ $ gem install jekyll
|
|
~ $ jekyll new myblog
|
|
~ $ cd myblog
|
|
~/myblog $ jekyll serve
|
|
# => Now browse to http://localhost:4000
|
|
{% endhighlight %}

That's nothing, though. The real magic happens when you start creating blog
|
|
posts, using the front-matter to control templates and layouts, and taking
|
|
advantage of all the awesome configuration options Jekyll makes available. |
