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

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
