Jekyll : New posts not being generated

Question

I am setting up a jekyll blog. I put the .md files in the _posts folder. run jekyll --server command in the root of the project directory.
But jekyll just regenerates the older posts, the news posts are not being added to _site.
What might be the problem?

Answer 1

I finally found why jekyll was failing. The title i used in one of my posts had a colon (:) in it. I just had to replace it with : and the post parsed fine.
