Windows: creating Jekyll pages not working

Unable to render new page in browser. I'm on Win7 and have Ruby1.9.3 and DevKit installed. When I create a new Jekyll site everything works. I copied the index.html in root and renamed to about.html and that worked and was able to view both pages in the browser. I copied the about.html page and renamed to contact.html and the page fails to inherit the layout and only renders text content and Liquid tags in the browser. All of this is on my local machine. Thanks for any advice.

I had similar problem today and after almost hour fighting with it I finally found that Visual Studio saved my file with 'UTF-8 with Signature' encoding which was causing issues. Changing file encoding to 'UTF-8 without Signature' helped. To change file encoding, open file (index.html in my case) and go to File->Advanced Save Options. Hope it will help you as well.

Looks like it's known issue mentioned on official Jekyll site (http://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/).
