A spiffy, minimal theme based on information- and text-first, sans-serif designs. Created for a site featuring blog posts and project posts for a single developer or artist. Based off Broccolini's Swiss theme with some design cues from academic, digital, and philosophy publishing layouts.
Clone this repo.
Make some changes to make the site more you while you're adding content:
- Start by configuring the site! Go to
_config.ymland fill in as necessary. - Edit the content in
layouts/homepage.htmlfor the blurbs on the front page. - Revise the copyright notice in
_includes/footer.htmlto take ownership! Maybe use a Creative Commons if you're feeling generous. - Put your content into the site! Remember to put a datestamp at the start of the filename for stuff in
_posts. The sample content can give an example of how it works. - Change the site's style --
_sass/variables.scsslets you mingle with the colors and fonts. - The site is configured to be used as a personal site that features blog posts and project posts in two separate sections. If you have additional categories to add, then make another page in the root directory with
yourcategoryname.htmlas the filename; you can just copy and paste content fromblog.htmland replace the word 'blog' with your category's name. Done.
