_config.yml name vs title about jekyll-feed

[pathawks]

It seems the Jekyll site template prefers title, so that's probably what we should use as well.

A quick GItHub code search suggests that about 2.4M sites use "name", while only about 700,000 use title

Maybe people are using name for user / author name? Perhaps look for title first, if it doesn't exist, then look for name?

Yet again I wish that Jekyll had a official way to organize your _config variables, haha, makes everything so much easier 😄

Taking just a quick look at the search results, yes, it looks like often the name matches the GitHub username.

Tell me about it; Jekyll is very opinionated in some areas, and not at all in others. 😛

What do we think about {{ site.title | fallback: site.name }}? (If that'll even work?)

[pathawks]

That seems appropriate, though we'll probably have to do the ugly if/else like we do for site.url (but wouldn't a fallback be nice?)

[envygeeks]

We should add fallback to Jekyll as a default filter though that would only affect Jekyll 3 and this needs to support Jekyll 2.4+ but we should still add it, doing a search for liquid fallback shows tons of people offering it in their liquid installations.

Looks like it's in Jekyll > 2.0.0 as default.

Just ran into this after adding this gem (nice that it's available on GitHub now :))

This was the reason I was using site.title, I guess it will be for most people starting from scratch.

The suggested site.title + fallback to site.name sounds good.
(I've switched to site.name for now, but would prefer site.title)

[ilg-ul]

English is not my first language, but semantically I think it is more natural for sites to have names (similarly to libraries, shops, etc) and pages to have titles (similarly to books, articles, etc).

[pathawks]

I believe that #72 closes this issue
