A clean and simple theme for Hugo

Primary LanguageCSSMIT LicenseMIT

Rocktopus is a re-work of my previous theme. The goal was to clean it up a bit and add in some of the newer Hugo features. This theme uses the Skeleton CSS framework

Configuration

The sample config file is pretty well documented and explains what setting does what but here are some key points:

  • The [menu] section looks best with three entries (in my opinion).
  • The blogHeader param supports HTML.
  • The theme provides a content type of contact that will create a simple contact page for your based on the values you put in the config file. Just create a new file under your content and add type="contact" to the frontmatter, no need to put any actual content in it.
  • There are some sample images that come with the theme for the header section but you'll probably want to set your own, just put it into your static/img directory update the filename in your config.
