-I recently needed to add a couple new items to my wife's personal recipe website ([cookingwith.casa](https://cookingwith.casa)) which I hadn't touched in quite a while. The Jekyll build still worked fine, but I realized I was statically adding each `collection` by hand on the main homepage[^1].
-
-Not so good.
-
-Of course, this wasn't difficult at all to fix. Now everything is much more "hands free" moving forward. I figured I would share the details here in the hopes that others mind find it useful. Plus, it's my blog - so I'll do what I want!
-
-## Looping Our Collections
-
-We want Jekyll to make things as streamlined as possible for us. This means that if I decide to add a new collection it will automatically render it along the others on the homepage.
-
-Work smart not hard!
-
-Let's take a look at the bare-bones collections loop:
-
-
-
- {% for collection in site.collections %}
- <!-- Our code goes here -->
- {% endfor %}
-
-
-
-Then we need to include an `if` statement to avoid pulling in standard `post` items (or leave this in if that is desired):
-
-
- {% for collection in site.collections %}
- {% if collection.label != 'posts' %}
- {% endif %}
- {% endfor %}
-
-
-Now for my specific use case, we want to display each collection label and then list its corresponding items below that label (see the `site[collection.label]` for reference)
-
-
- {% for collection in site.collections %}
- {% if collection.label != 'posts' %}
- <h2>{{ collection.label }}</h2>
- <ul class="recipe-list">
- {% for item in site[collection.label] %}
- <li>
- <a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.title }}</a>
- </li>
- {% endfor %}
- </ul>
- <hr>
- {% endif %}
- {% endfor %}
-
-
-That's it! Now if I plan to add any new collections down the line, I just need to include it in the `_config.yml` file and I'm set. The homepage will take care of the rest once rendered.
-
-Enjoy looping through your Jekyll collections!
-
-
-[^1]: Just the sections were statically rendered. All the recipes were pulled in dynamically - I'm not that insane!
