Wouldn’t it be great to have Categories page in Octopress? If so, create a new page for Categories:

1

rake new_page[blog/categories]

Open blog/categories/index.markdown and insert this snippet:

1
2
3
4
5

<ul>
{% for item in site.categories %}
    <li><a href="/blog/categories/{{ item[0] }}/">{{ item[0] | capitalize }}</a> [ {{ item[1].size }} ]</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

If you like to see the result, check out my Categories page.

For the record, thanks to Jim Pravetz for the Liquid Syntax tip.
