A Jekyll plugin to make front matter optional for Markdown files. Out of the box, Jekyll requires that any markdown file have YAML front matter (key/value pairs separated by two sets of three dashes) in order to be processed and converted to HTML. While that behavior may be helpful for large, complex sites, sometimes it's easier to simply add a plain markdown file and have it render without fanfare.

A Jekyll plugin to pull the page title from the first Markdown heading when none is specified. If you have a Jekyll page that doesn't have a title specified in the YAML Front Matter, but the first non-whitespace line in the page is a Markdown H1 / H2 / H3, this plugin instructs Jekyll to use that first heading as the page's title.

Silently sets default layouts for Jekyll pages and posts.

...Let's say you have a GitHub repository with a README.md file, that you'd like to use as the index (main page) for a GitHub Pages site. You could rename the file to index.md, but then it wouldn't render on GitHub.com. You could add YAML front matter with permalink: / to the README, but why force a human to do what Jekyll can automate? If you have a readme file, and your site doesn't otherwise have an index file, this plugin instructs Jekyll to use the readme as the site's index. That's it, no more, no less.

...First, it checks a page's yaml frontmatter for the header image, if none is found then it checks for a site-wide default in your config.yml, if none is found then no banner image is displayed. I like my footers to stay on the bottom of the page no matter what. You can easily edit the size and color using the supplied sass variables.
