Scribble
A jekyll theme. Want a demo? click and read instruction.
(I am currently working on a collection of themes, here's a preview for one of them. You know how to stay posted.
There is no clever design philosophy to talk about, I tried to find something to work with, and 'scribble' came to my mind.
This theme uses Open Sans powered by Google Web Fonts, and was written in plain HTML, SCSS & CoffeeScript, though .scss & .coffee files wouldn't be included in the theme.
The theme is mobile optimised but I did not check browser compatibility. It looks great in Chrome, Safari and Firefox though.
Get started
- Fork the repository.
- Clone the repository to your computer.
git clone https://github.com/username/scribble
bundle install
- Using older versions of Jekyll
Build and run jekyll usingjekyll --server --auto
.
Using Jekyll 1.0
Build Jekyll usingjekyll build
.
Then run Jekyll usingjekyll serve --watch
, go to http://localhost:4000 for your site.
Make it yours
- I have extract most user specific information to
_config.yml
, you should be able to set up almost everything from it. - Change about.md for blog intro.
- For domain settings, see the guide from GitHub.
Options
When writing a post, there are 3 options you can add to the header.
-
disqus: y
If disqus is set to 'y', at the end of the post there will be a disqus thread, just like this one. To use disqus, you MUST set up your own disqus account. -
share: y
An option for showing tweet and like button under a post. -
date: 2013-05-06 18:07:17
Date is not a required header since Jekyll reads the file name for date, this was added in only for the signoff time. (as shown at the end of this post) If you don't want the signoff time, go into/includes/signoff.html
remove the<span>
, and remove{% include signoff.html %}
from/layouts/post.html
.
The end
