### 2. Rename the project to `<yourusername>.github.io`

Click on __*Settings*__ at the top (the cog icon) and on that page you'll have an option to rename the project (*repository name*).

Check out the [FAQ](#faq-and-support) if you want to use a different project name.

If you followed the easy method above, then you already have your site and you can skip this section! If you want to install beautiful-jekyll using ruby gems instead, follow the [advanced installation instructions](https://beautifuljekyll.com/getstarted/#install-steps-hard).

# Plans

Beautiful Jekyll is, and always will be, free. But if you want to remove the Beautiful Jekyll ad from your website, use a Dark Mode skin, or unlock other special rewards, [check out the different plans](https://beautifuljekyll.com/plans).
