Serve example.com/blog from the same Jekyll setup as example.com:

1. cd ~/example.com → Root dir
2. cd _includes → Add blogskin.html with CSS/JS
3. cd _layouts → Create blog layout that includes blogskin.html
4. mkdir blog → Create index for /blog with layout: blog
5. Add permalink format:

   echo "permalink: /blog/:title.html" >> _config.yml
   

Now jekyll build && jekyll server will serve example.com/blog!

This was learned while preparing Yeoman’s team blog.
