Skinny Bones Jekyll Starter

Just a little something I'm using to jump start a site refresh. I like to think of it as a starter for building your own Jekyll site. I purposely keep the styling minimal and bare to make it easier to add your own flare and markup.

Jekyll 3 Update: A version of Skinny Bones compatible with Jekyll 3 can be found in the jekyll3 branch. GitHub Pages is locked at version 2.4 so some keep that in mind if you're trying to use 3.0 features that aren't supported there yet.

I'm currently using a variation of it on my personal website Made Mistakes with some modifications. To learn more about how to use the theme and install it check out the Skinny Bones demo (work in progress).
