Jekyll: Display all posts in the same page - jekyll

I have been reading everything at Jekyll Docs, but I couldn't find a way to do this.
By default when generating a web, jekyll displays a list of the links of all your blog posts. Is there a way to display the content of all your blog posts in the same page? (alla blogspot/wordpress/traditional blog...)

Found my solution from: This tutorial, which consists of editing index.md and adding the following:
{% for post in site.posts %}
<article>
<h2>
<a href="{{ post.url }}">
{{ post.title }}
</a>
</h2>
<time datetime="{{ post.date | date: "%Y-%m-%d" }}">{{ post.date | date_to_long_string }}</time>
{{ post.content }}
</article>
{% endfor %}

Creating multiple blog like lists using Jekyll hydeout theme

I'm using the hydeout theme in jekyll and I am trying to have 3 sections in the side bar;
Home - A list of all posts including pagination (working already)
College - A list of all college category posts with pagination
Fun - A list of all fun category posts with pagination
So far using the theme I have the sections in the side bar and the home page is showing all posts from both categories including pagination.
However my issue is that the category layout is only setup to show post titles and I cannot get it to act as a full list of posts let alone include pagination.
category.html:
{% unless page.content == '' %}
{{ content }}
{% endunless %}
<ul class="posts-list">
{% assign category = page.category | default: page.title %}
{% for post in site.categories[category] %}
<li>
<h3>
<a href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}">
{{ post.title }}
<small>{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</small>
</a>
</h3>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Here is a link to the hosted site and the code on github.
I essentially want the college and fun subsections to display posts the exact same way the home page does but only posts that belong in their given category
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Posts not showing correctly on jekyll (multiple site) blog -- only post code

I have a personal website built with jekyll and hosted on Github pages. I am trying to add a sub-site blog within the same domain. For this, I set up a blog.md page and followed the instructions from this website: https://www.garron.me/en/blog/multi-blog-site-jekyll.html. The idea is that if I access http://<mydomain>.com it will go to my personal website, and if I go to http://<mydomain>.com/blog it will go to a different site also set up with jekyll.
My file structure is different than what they suggest in the link above. It is like this:
/personalwebsite
config.yml
index.md
(other personal website pages).md
blog.md
/_site
/_layouts
/_posts
My index.md page is completely customized, and I wrote my own layout for that website. It is a static site and everything in _posts is ignored by it. My blog.md page is also on the root folder and it changes according to _config.yml. I am trying to use Github jekyll themes for it. The theme loads, but instead of showing the posts, it shows the code:
This is what blog.md looks like:
---
layout: blog
title: the blog
permalink: blog
---
{% raw %}
{% for post in site.posts %}
{% if post.categories contains 'blog' %}
<div class="post">
<h3 class="title">{{ post.title }}</h3>
<p class="meta">Date: {{ post.date }}</p>
<div class="entry">
{{ post.content | strip_html | truncatewords: 100 }}
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endraw %}
And this is what a post looks like:
---
layout: post
title: New test
category: blog
---
This is a test post
If I remove the {% raw %} parts in blog.md, the posts show up like this:
I have already checked that my posts are in the right place, the category parameter is filled in, the dates and post filenames are properly formatted. What am I doing wrong? Jekyll does not show any error messages other than a Github metadata warning:
GitHub Metadata: No GitHub API authentication could be found. Some fields may be missing or have incorrect data
blog.md is a markdown file.
In markdown a four space indentation represents code or preformatted text.
Kramdown will wrap this code in <pre> tag, resulting on what you actualy see on your site.
If you remove your indentation (or keep it under 4 spaces), your problem is solved.
{% for post in site.posts %}
{% if post.categories contains 'blog' %}
<div class="post">
<h3 class="title">{{ post.title }}</h3>
<p class="meta">Date: {{ post.date }}</p>
<div class="entry">
{{ post.content | strip_html | truncatewords: 100 }}
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Sorting posts by category using Jekyll works locally but not on Github pages?

I have posts in Jekyll sorted by categories that wont display on github pages. The yaml font matter in the post has the categories set to CSS and design but don't display on the category page with the code below:
{% for post in site.categories.CSS %}
{% if post.url %}
<a id="h1a" href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
<p id="date">{{ post.author }} • {{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</p>
<div id="excerpt">{{ post.excerpt }} </div>
<div id="readmore">Read More</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
It works locally, and the URL path (/css/design/2016/01/10/responsive-web-design-css-viewport.html) shows that the categories are there, but does not display in the link above. Here is my repository, the code above can be found in the css folder of the root directory.
Jekyll 3.x uses categories "as is" : CSS stays CSS.
Jekyll 2.x is down-casing categories : CSS becomes css.
So, on Github pages site.categories.CSS == nil
In order to work locally in Github pages configuration, you can follow install instructions here.

jekyll blog title to include pagination variables

I am trying to get Page 2+ of my blog to have a different title for search engines to index.
I have read several other stackoverflow answers stating that you cannot use liquid tags in the front matter yaml. One suggested to use JS to update the title, however this will not work for me as I want the search engine to index the parsed title.
I thought there may be another way. I can perhaps create a HTML page for each of my pages. I would like to do that without having to manually add each one of my posts into each of the pages (resulting in an ongoing time consuming task each time I post a new article).
I was thinking I could make one page for 1-10, another page for 11-20, etc... Something like this:
---
title: Blog Page 2
---
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
{% if post.index > 10 %}{% if post.index <= 20 %}
<div class="post-preview">
<a href="{{ post.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">
<h2 class="post-title"> {{ post.title }}</h2>
{{ post.excerpt }}
</a>
</div>
{% endif %}{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
It seems there is no post.index variable available. Is there anything similar I can use?
Or are there any other ways to achieve "Blog Page X" in my title?
Supposing that your head tags are in your _includes/head.html file. In the title tag just add :
{% if paginator %} - page {{ paginator.page }}{% endif %}
Your title tag now looks like this :
<title>
{% if page.title %}{{ page.title }}{% else %}{{ site.title }}{% endif %}
{%if paginator %} - page {{ paginator.page }}{% endif %}
</title>

How do I display most recent blog post on Octorpess/Jekyll landing page

I created a landing page for my octopress website and I'd like to have the most recent blog post displayed on the home page, but just the most recent blog. I am not sure quite how to proceed. Is there a code like {% include post %} that will allow me to do this?
Thanks.
As per usual, I tend to find the solution after I ask it.
On home page:
<div class="blog-index">
{% assign post = site.posts.first %}
{% assign content = post.content %}
{% include custom/asides/recent_post.html %}
</div>
In separate document saved to custom/asides/recent_post.html:
<h2 class="entry-title">
{% if post.title %}
{{ post.title }}
{% endif %}
</h2>
<div class="entry-content">{{ content | excerpt }}</div>
<a class="btn btn-default" href="{{ root_url }}{{ post.url }}">{{ site.excerpt_link }}</a>
