-# Author: Jason Woodward http://www.woodwardjd.com
-# Description: Import files on your filesystem as specified in a configuration variable in _config.yml.  Mostly cribbed from Jekyll's include tag.

-# Example 1:
-# {% include_array asides  %}

-# _config.yml snippet:
-# asides: [asides/twitter.html, asides/custom/my_picture.html]
