This repository contains themes for Pelican. Feel free to clone, add your own theme, and submit a pull request. It's community-managed!

These instructions assume you have already read all the Pelican documentation, have a working site, and would now like to apply a non-default theme.

If you want to edit your theme, make sure that any edits you make are made to the copy stored in ~/pelican-themes/theme-name. Any changes made to files stored in your site's output directory will be deleted the next time you generate your site.
