Pagination in Jekyll using Octopress Paginate

Hi

I've been watching the Build a Blog with Jekyll and Github Pages and I have been battling my way through even though the course is to be retired soon (assume because it is outdated..).

Anyway after reading around, I am assuming Jekyll's paginate was retired as it didn't play well with other features? So I'm trying to use Octopress Paginate on my jekyll blog and so far so good.

However, I cannot seem to get pagination on the homepage?

Here is my code from a paginate.md file (which works):

title: Paginator permalink: /paginator/

paginate: true

{% for post in paginator.posts %} <li> <h2> <a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | relative_url }}">{{ post.title | escape }}</a> </h2> 

    <span class="post-meta">{{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</span>
    <span class="post-meta">{{ post.author }}</span>


    <p class="post-meta">{{ post.excerpt }}</p>

  </li>

{% endfor %}

When I copy/paste this to the home.html file, it doesn't output anything? Now is this because it is a .html file or another reason? It would be great if I could get pagination working on the homepage.

Thanks in advance,

Tom
