+ [2016-09-05T05:35:50Z] V1s1ble So within my page navigation I want to implement a First / Latest (it's for a web comic). Using the site/post variables, how do I determine what the first and last posts are. I've tried site.posts.first, site.posts[0], etc.
+ [2015-10-15T12:30:30Z] V1s1ble and it works if I modify the gem directly, but if I put it in a plugin, it doesn't load early enough to be useful and I'd like to not have to fork jekyll, make my own gem, add tests and submit a pull...not yet at least. I will once I get it working
+ [2015-10-15T12:29:14Z] V1s1ble and I want to share components across multiple source trees
+ [2015-10-15T12:28:54Z] V1s1ble I made these changes because I don't use Github pages: https://gist.github.com/sumdog/ba0b72d12995dd185303
+ [2015-10-15T12:28:39Z] V1s1ble Is there a way to monkey patch core Jekyll classes without touching the installed gem?
+ [2015-05-10T09:12:51Z] V1s1ble Is that possible?
+ [2015-05-10T09:12:49Z] V1s1ble but I want the page using the layout to be able to specify a variable for the specific category I should use... site.categories.$cattype or something like that
+ [2015-05-10T09:12:20Z] V1s1ble Say I have a page layout and in it I do some logic where I iterate all my posts in a category (e.g. site.categories.journal) and that works fine
