You’ll find this post in your _posts directory - edit this post and re-build (or run with the -w switch) to see your changes! To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention: YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext.

Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
```

Apr 7, 2015 A new book about Allegro has been published!
A book introducing game programming using Allegro 5 has recently been written by Frédéric Drouillon, titled Allegro 5 - Programmation de jeux en C ou C++. This book is available in French, and will surely be a great read for the French-speaking Allegro 5 users. For others, the code samples available for download on the publisher’s website should be of interest as well. Check out the [books section][books] for more information.
