+A sample blog page that demonstrates the accessing of github meta data.

+## What does Github-MetaData do?

+* Propagates the site.github namespace with repository metadata

+* Setting site variables : 

+  * site.title

+  * site.description

+  * site.url

+  * site.baseurl

+* Accessing the metadata - duh.

+* Generating edittable links.

+

+## Additional Reading

+* If you're recieving incorrect/missing data, you may need to perform a Github API<a href="https://github.com/jekyll/github-metadata/blob/master/docs/authentication.md"> authentication</a>.

+* Go through this <a href="https://jekyll.github.io/github-metadata/" target="blank">README</a> for more details on the topic.

+* <a href= "https://github.com/jekyll/github-metadata/blob/master/docs/site.github.md">This page</a> highlights all the feilds you can access with github-metadata.
