+# Set up the Blog
+In the repository settings, navigate to GitHub pages. Select a branch to build the website from, a theme if desired, and a custom domain if desired. Save the settings.
+
+# How to Create a Blog Post
+Go to the _posts/ directory and create a new file with the format: YYYY-MM-DD-title-of-post.md
+<br>
+Post titles must be in this format to work correctly!
+
+
+Format the contents of the post like so:
+
+<code>
+    ---
+</code>
+    <br>
+    layout: post
+    <br>
+    title: title of your blog post
+    <br>
+<code>
+    ---
+</code>
+<br>
+Then, simply write your post here, using any desired formatting.
