Set the cookie_consent_info_url parameter in your site's config to
display a message about cookie usage to your users. See the config
in `exampleSite/config.toml` for more info.
We are explicitly using the site's RSS feed, but after reading the
Hugo RSS docs I think it's better if we use the contextual version
of the RSSlink. This will make the RSS plumbing show a feed for the
current category, tag, section, etc. The example code also adds a
bit of markup to help browsers find the content more easily.

Sites only need to add their Google Analytics tracking ID to their
config:
googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"
This uses the async version of the Google Analytics code.
Check if the params.sidebar is defined before checking to see if
params.sidebar.hide is true or false. New sites might not have
their config set up properly, so this avoids an error in the case
that params.sidebar isn't defined yet.
Uses basic data like title, description, author, and date that we
are using with existing vanilla meta tags, but extends them to OG
and Twitter Card tags. See [0] and [1].
For the Twitter summary cards specifically, you can optionally add
attribution for your username by adding something like this to your
configuration:
[params.social]
twitter_username = "@mralanorth"
... and for posts with images, you can specify an "image" in the
post's front matter like so:
image = "/2016/09/IMG_20160916_174409.jpg"
And then the theme will opt to use Twitter's "large" summary card.

Still need to figure out how to determine which page we're on so we
can set the "active" class accordingly (for Home we have the IsHome
variable the we can check).
Use the post's author from frontmatter, or else use the author from
the site's config. You MUST have one of these set or else you will
get an error during site generation. I think it's better to force
the user to define an author tag rather than only printing it if
it is defined because it is a good practice to help bots understand
content.
Use the post's meta description if it exists, otherwise use the
one from the site's config. Set them using the "description" key
in frontmatter or site config.
Note: this means there is no way to NOT have a description. You
must have *at least* a site-wide description and *optionally* a
description for each page/post's front matter.
Partials are nice, but blocks are a better base construct. Right
now there is basically only layouts/_default/baseof.html that is
doing most of the work.
