Building an Article Series List With Jekyll

When you host a Jekyll site on GitHub, it renders the site in safe-mode. This means you can't use any plugins enhance Jekyll's functionality and, more specifically, you can't write a Liquid tag that alphabetizes the site's tags.

Pagination in Jekyll only works in an index.html file. If you have other pages in the root of your project folder (say, about.html, poems.html) pagination will NOT work in them.
To have pagination work in another page other than your index.html, create a new folder for that page (say, poems/) and change what would have been "poems.html" to "poems/index.html". After that, your "paginatepath" in _config.yml should be 'paginatepath: "poems/page:num/"'.
