Drafts are posts without a date. They're posts you're still working on and don't want to
publish yet. To get up and running with drafts, create a `_drafts` folder in your site's
root (as described in the [site structure](/docs/structure/) section) and create your
first draft:

{% highlight text %}
|-- _drafts/
|   |-- a-draft-post.md
{% endhighlight %}

To preview your site with drafts, simply run `jekyll serve` or `jekyll build` with
the `--drafts` switch.  Each will be assigned the value of `Time.now`
for its date, and thus you will see them generated as the latest posts.
