It seems as if I was never actually allowed to license this as GPL from the start because the example HTML layouts I based this theme on are part of the Bootstrap documentation, which are CC-BY-3.0. See: https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/

# Hugo Bootstrap v4 Blog [](https://travis-ci.org/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog)
|
|
A simple but opinionated [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) theme geared towards blog-style content. Based on the older two-column [Bootstrap blog example](https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/blog/) that was used for several Bootstrap versions, but has now been retired in favor of a "snarky" (their words) new example as of version [4.0.0's final release](https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2018/01/18/bootstrap-4/).

## Content Suggestions
|
|
A few suggestions to help you get a good looking site quickly:
|
|
|
|
- Keep blog posts in the `content/posts` directory, for example: `content/posts/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
|
|
- Disable social sharing icons site wide (or on individual pages/posts) by setting `sharingicons = false`
|
|
- If your content is stored in git, add `enableGitInfo = true` to your site config and Hugo will use git history to set a more accurate modification date in page metadata

## Building (For Developers)
|
|
This theme uses the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) 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 >= v6 installed, and then run the following from inside the theme's directory:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
$ npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
