This replaces the metadata that Hugo's own schema.html template had been providing, but does so in JSON-LD notation rather than via the use of <meta> tags (this is Google's currently recommended form of specifying this markup). There are a few exceptions where I did not follow the conventions used in Hugo's template, for example the use of up to six images from a post's frontmatter, because Google's tool only recognizes one image, as well as different logic for a post's publish and modified dates (using enableGitInfo = true). Using this new markup, Google's Structured Data Testing Tool is now able to understand site metadata much better (before it was reading none). The implementation here is a mix of the elements and types from the official Schema.org types—for example, Blog and BlogPosting—as well as from Google's search documentation. Note that Google's docs are geared towards AMP, where some metadata is required, while for non- AMP pages the metadata is just recommended. We will have to re-evaluate this in the future, for example to add height and width information to image metadata.

Content Suggestions
A few suggestions to help you get a good looking site quickly:
- Keep blog posts in the
content/post
directory, for example:content/post/my-first-post.md
- Keep static pages in the
content
directory, for example:content/about.md
- Keep media like images in the
static
directory, for example:static/2016/10/screenshot.png
- If you want an image to be shown when you share a post on social media, specify at least one image in the post's front matter, for example:
images: ["/2016/10/screenshot.png"]
- Use the
<!--more-->
tag in posts to control how much of a post is shown on summary pages - Disable comments on a post by setting
comments = false
in its frontmatter
See the source code and structure of picturingjordan.com to get more ideas.
Building (For Developers)
This theme uses the Bootstrap framework. A static version of this is already included, but if you want to bump the version, tweak the style, etc, you'll need to rebuild the assets. Make sure you have NodeJS v4 or v6 installed, and then run the following from inside the theme's directory:
$ npm install
$ npm run build
Contributing
There are several ways to help with the development of the theme:
- Open an issue on GitHub if you have problems or feature requests
- Alternatively, tackle one of the existing issues on the issue tracker
- Fork the repository on GitHub, add features on a "feature" branch like
update-bootstrap
, and then send a pull request with your changes
