    <h3>Install and Switch Blog Themes With One Command.</h3>
    <p>
      Jekyll Bootstrap is the first Jekyll blogging engine to support modular theming.
      <br>This makes designing and sharing themes for Jekyll blogs much easier and automatic.

  <div>
    <h3>Support For All Major Blog Comment Engines.</h3>
    <p>Installation is as easy as pasting in your account identifier.</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Disqus</li>
      <li>Livefyre</li>
      <li>Intense Debate</li>
      <li>Facebook</li>
    </ul>
  </div>

  <div>
    <h3>Built-in Post and Page File Creation.</h3>
    <p>
      Easily create post and page file stubs using Jekyll Bootstrap's built in rake tasks.
      <br>Plus dynamically generated page stubs for all these goodies:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>archive.html</li>
      <li>pages.html</li>
      <li>tags.html</li>
      <li>categories.html</li>
      <li>sitemap.xml</li>
      <li>atom.xml</li>
    </ul>

  <div>
    <h3>Free and Easy Blog Hosting With GitHub Pages.</h3>
    <p>
      Jekyll-bootstrap is 100% compatible with deploying to GitHub.
      <br>Just push your repository to a valid <a href="http://pages.github.com">GitHub Pages</a> endpoint and GitHub hosts your website &lt;3.
    </p>
  </div>

  <div>
    <h3>Blog Your Way to a Better World =)</h3>
    <p>
      Jekyll Bootstrap started as a way to empower more programmers to share their knowledge, advice, and experiences.
       We've grown through embracing Open Source and prolifically refining Jekyll Bootstrap's Public API.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>The Result?</strong><br>
      Each new supporter builds a bigger and better community from which we mutually benefit. 
      More and better themes, plugins, javascript goodies, and ultimately more knowledge shared.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>- Thank you for investing in our community!</strong>

My GitHub username: Personalize Install Code

1 - Create a New Repository

Go to your Github Dashboard and create a new repository named USERNAME.github.com

After GitHub has a couple minutes to do its magic your blog will be publicly available at http://USERNAME.github.com

*Already have your blog on GitHub?

I'll assume you have the Jekyll gem installed on your local machine. Run Jekyll-Bootstrap-Core locally to see what all the fuss is about:

$ git clone https://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap.git
$ cd jekyll-bootstrap
$ jekyll --server

See it in action at http://localhost:4000.
