The theme can be customized just by changing few variables in _config.yml file.
Since the theme is based on default Jekyll theme, it is very light-weight. No JavaScript except analytics is used!
Fork the master branch and delete gh-pages branch in it. This is important because gh-pages branch is used here only to host the blog. You should be using the master branch as the source and create a fresh gh-pages branch.
After forking the repository, click on branches.
Delete gh-pages branch.
You have to create a new gh-pages branch using the master branch. Go back to the forked repository and create gh-pages branch.
Now, go to settings and check the Github Pages section. You should see a URL where the blog is hosted.
This process will host the theme as a Project Page. You can also download the files for local development.
Default theme will look like this
This theme is responsive.
The theme provides a nice header that can be customized by changing colors in the _config.yml file.
#color scheme color-1: '#E64C3C' color-2: '#F0C419'
Remember, while developing locally, every change you make in _config.yml is applied only if you restart jekyll serve process.
The default font is Helvetica. Text shadow is used to give it a little deapth.
The webjeda thunder logo is an SVG file. This can be removed and text can be used as the logo. Make these changes in the header file. But I suggest to use an SVG or an image.
Make changes to the master branch and create a pull request. Do not use gh-pages branch as it is used to host the theme.
