+<p>I have found that there is a lot of information on the internet in regards to setting up &#8220;dynamic&#8221; navigation in Jekyll. The problem I&#8217;ve noticed is that a good amount of these implementations are overly complex. Here is the simplest way that I tend to use when building out <code>nav</code> elements in Jekyll (3.9.0 as of this writing).</p>
+
+<h2 id="creating-the-directories-files">Creating the Directories &#38; Files</h2>
+
<p>In your Jekyll project, at the top level, you need to create a directory called <code>_data</code>. Inside this folder we will be creating a new file called <code>navigation.yml</code>. The contents of this file will contain all your navigation links and they are rendered like so:</p>
+
<pre><code>- title: Home
-url: /
+url: &#47;
- title: Articles
-url: /articles/
+url: &#47;articles&#47;
- title: About
-url: /about/
+url: &#47;about&#47;
</code></pre>
-<h2>Dynamically Rendering the Navigation</h2>
+
+<h2 id="dynamically-rendering-the-navigation">Dynamically Rendering the Navigation</h2>
+
<p>The next and final step is rendering out the navigation with a simple loop:</p>
+
<pre><code>{% for item in site.data.navigation %}
- &lt;li&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;{{ item.url }}&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;{{ item.title }}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
- &lt;/li&gt;
+ &#60;li&#62;
+ &#60;a href="{{ item.url }}"&#62;&#60;span&#62;{{ item.title }}&#60;&#47;span&#62;&#60;&#47;a&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;li&#62;
{% endfor %}
</code></pre>
-<h2>Highlight Current Page</h2>
-<p>It's also very easy to extend this method to add a CSS class based on whether a user is on the currently selected page or not:</p>

{% else %}
- &lt;a href=&quot;{{ item.url }}&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;{{ item.title }}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
+ &#60;a href="{{ item.url }}"&#62;&#60;span&#62;{{ item.title }}&#60;&#47;span&#62;&#60;&#47;a&#62;
{% endif %}
- &lt;/li&gt;
+ &#60;&#47;li&#62;
{% endfor %}
-</code></pre>
-<pre><code>/* Custom styling for active class */
+
+
+
+&#47;* Custom styling for active class *&#47;
li a.active { color: red; }
</code></pre>
+
<p>Congrats! You now have fully functional, dynamic navigation on your Jekyll site.</p>
