Could you describe what you're trying to do? The files you've committed do not look like they're the right ones.

[asdofindia]

Please discuss what you want to do in an issue or at least in the pull request description 🙂 @mashsaxena

Okay.
Well, I added the _layouts and _include folders because they were not there. :)
If this isn't satisfactory, kindly let me know what I can do and how else should I improve it.
Open to any improvements 💯

The folders are fine. But the files in those folders need discuss.

Do we need disqus? Do we need comments at all? In the past comments haven't added value. I personally don't think adding third party content (which invites issues of privacy) is warranted.

I don't think about.md and archive.html belong to _layouts either. Please checkout https://jekyllrb.com/docs/layouts/

There is some related info in #2

We may have to move all the theme related files from minima when we are migrating.

[mashsaxena]

Okay :)
Will work on it

Hey! Thanks for helping out... might I suggest filling in the Description of the PR template with the things you are modifying/adding and reasoning behind them? Also, I would suggest opening Issues for the same before directly going for PR (except its generic grammar/link fixes). This way we can discuss a bit before you tackle the same if required, and not cause confusion about the intent behind the PR. 😄

Hi @mashsaxena, thanks for taking the initiative!
The about and archive pages you've added can be added directly to the site's root directory as suggested in the Jekyll Documentation.

However, it's generally a good practice to add all single pages except index.html to a separate folder called _pages. You can then include the _pages folder into the site by adding the below code to the _config.yml file. Example for reference

include:
- _pages

So, here's what you need to do:

1. Move the archive and about pages to a separate folder called _pages.
2. Include _pages folder in _config.yml
3. Delete the disqus file for now. Comment system can be added later after discussion in Add links to discuss blog posts (github/telegram/etc) #17
4. Since your archive and about pages refer default layout, a file called default.html is to be added in _layouts. Discussed in Jekyll Migration | Theme fix #2 and Move from gem-based to a regular theme #19

Feel free to comment here for any doubts. Instructions for merging your fixes with the original commit are given in contributing.
