 ### _config.yml
 
-Most of the variables found here are used in the .html files found in `_includes` if you need to add or remove anything. A good place to start would be to change the title, tagline, description, and url of your site. When working locally comment out `url`[^1] or else you will get a bunch of broken links because they are absolute and prefixed with `{{ "{{ site.url " }}}}` in the various `_includes` and `_layouts`. Just remember to uncomment `url` when building for deployment or pushing to **gh-pages**...

+[^1]: Used to generate absolute urls in `sitemap.xml`, `feed.xml`, and for canonical urls in `head.html`. Don't include a trailing `/` in your base url ie: http://mademistakes.com. When developing locally I suggest using http://localhost:4000 or whatever server you're using to properly load the theme's stylesheet, scripts, and image assets. If you leave this variable blank all links will resolve correctly except those pointing home.
