Using Templates with GitHub Pages

You can use a template to set up your website. Most templates allow you to make some changes to the look of the pages, like changing the colors. You can make changes by editing the stylesheet file(s), but be sure to have a backup in case something goes wrong. You can add images as well, but be sure to add a credit for the photographer.

We will work through the activities in the GitHub Pages and Templates Slides, and discuss these templates:
