They say three times the charm, so here is another free responsive Jekyll theme for you. I've learned a ton since open sourcing my first two themes on Github, and wanted to try a few new things this time around. If you've used my previous themes most of this should be familiar territory...
- Responsive templates for post, page, and post index
_layouts. Looks great on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. - Gracefully degrades in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 8+ and all modern browsers.
- Modern and minimal design.
- Sweet animated menu.
- Readable typography to make your words shine.
- Support for large images to call out your favorite posts.
- Comments powered by Disqus if you choose to enable.
- Social Sharing links for Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ if you choose to enable.
- Simple and clear permalink structure.
- Open Graph and Twitter Cards support for a better social sharing experience.
- Simple custom 404 page to get you started.
- Stylesheets for Pygments and Coderay syntax highlighting to make your code examples look snazzy
- Grunt build script for easy theme development
- Available in Spanish. Thanks @cruznick!
General notes and suggestions for customizing HPSTR.
- Install Bundler
gem install bundlerand then install Jekyll and all dependenciesbundle install. - Fork the HPSTR Jekyll Theme repo.
- Clone the repo you just forked and rename it.
- Edit
_config.ymlto personalize your site. - Check out the sample posts in
_poststo see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data. - Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
Pro-tip: Delete the gh-pages branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off master. There is a bunch of garbage in gh-pages used for the theme's demo site that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.
