Hugo Blog Awesome is a theme crafted to capture your readers' attention.
Additionally, it's fast, privacy-conscious, and comes with no external dependencies. That's right. There are no Google fonts, icon packs, or JavaScript frameworks. No trackers or ads to bloat your website.
Its focus on minimalism and clean UI ensures that your content takes the spotlight. This, coupled with the support for dark mode, provides a stress-free (on the eyes) reading experience for your audience.
Built with Hugo, SCSS, and vanilla JavaScript.
- Minimal design
- Responsive design
- Light and dark modes
- Syntax highlighting
- RSS feed
- No jQuery, Bootstrap
- 100/100 Google PageSpeed Insights score on all 4 metrics
Note: You need to have the Hugo extended version installed in order to use this theme. This theme uses SCSS for styling. With the Hugo extended version, SCSS can be compiled to CSS without any additional tools.
To create a new Hugo site with this theme, run the following command:
hugo new site myblog
Then, clone this repository into the themes directory of your new site:
cd myblog
git clone https://github.com/hugo-sid/hugo-blog-awesome.git themes/hugo-blog-awesome
To preview the theme with example content, run the following command from the exampleSite directory:
hugo server --themesDir ../..
To use this theme, set the theme variable in your site's config.toml to hugo-blog-awesome:
theme = "hugo-blog-awesome"
You can take a look at the config.toml file in the exampleSite directory for an example configuration.
It is recommended that you copy the config.toml file from the exampleSite directory to the root directory of your Hugo site. You can then edit the config.toml file to suit your needs.
I used realfavicongenerator.net to generate the favicons. You can place the resulting files in the assets\icons folder. That should get your favicon working.
If you want to customize anything further, you can modify layouts\partials\head.html.
Social icons can be added by congifuring config.toml file in the following manner.
[[params.socialIcons]]
name = "github"
url = "https://github.com/hugo-sid"
[[params.socialIcons]]
name = "twitter"
url = "https://twitter.com"
[[params.socialIcons]]
name = "Rss"
url = "index.xml"List of available icons (click to expand)
