Jalpc.
This is a simple, beautiful and swift theme for Jekyll. It's mobile first, fluidly responsive, and delightfully lightweight.
It's pretty minimal, but leverages large type and drastic contrast to make a statement, on all devices.
The landing page of the blog is multilingual page.
It is my pleasure to contact me, you can give me your website or some advice about my website. Let's build a wonderful Jekyll theme together!

Jalpc-A: another Jekyll theme written by AngularJS.
Getting Started
If you're completely new to Jekyll, I recommend checking out the documentation at http://jekyllrb.com or there's a tutorial by Smashing Magazine.
Fork, then clone
Fork the repo, and then clone it so you've got the code locally.
$ git clone https://github.com/<your githubname>/jalpc_jekyll_theme.git
$ cd jalpc_jekyll_theme
$ gem install jekyll # If you don't have jekyll installed
$ rm -rf _site && jekyll server
_config.yml
Modify The _config.yml located in the root of the jalpc_jekyll_theme directory contains all of the configuration details for the Jekyll site. The defaults are:
# Website settings
title: "Jalpc"
description: "Jack's blog,use Jekyll and github pages."
keywords: "Jack,Jalpc,blog,Jekyll,github,gh-pages"
baseurl: "/"
url: "http://www.jack003.com"
# url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000"
# author
author:
name: 'Jack'
first_name: 'Jia'
last_name: 'Kun'
email: 'me@jack003.com'
facebook_username: 'jiakunnj'
github_username: 'Jack614'
head_img: 'static/img/landing/Jack.jpg'
...
Index page
The index page is seprated into several sections and they are located in _includes/sections
,the configuration is in _config.yml
and section's detail configuration is in _data/*.yml
.
_data/*.yml
Modify These files are used to dynamically render pages, so you almost don't have to edit html files to change your own theme, besides you can use jekyll serve --watch
to reload changes.
The following is mapping between yml file to sections.
- blog.yml ==> _includes/sections/blog.html
- careers.yml ==> _includes/sections/career.html
- links.yml ==> _includes/sections/links.html
- projects.yml ==> _includes/sections/projects.html
- skills.yml ==> _includes/sections/skills.html
Jekyll Serve
Then, start the Jekyll Server. I always like to give the --watch option so it updates the generated HTML when I make changes.
$ jekyll serve --watch
Now you can navigate to localhost:4000 in your browser to see the site.
Using Github Pages
You can host your Jekyll site for free with Github Pages. Click here for more information.
A configuration tweak if you're using a gh-pages sub-folder
In addition to your github-username.github.io repo that maps to the root url, you can serve up sites by using a gh-pages branch for other repos so they're available at github-username.github.io/repo-name.
This will require you to modify the _config.yml like so:
# Welcome to Jekyll!
# Site settings
title: Website Name
baseurl: "/"
url: "http://github-username.github.io"
# url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000"
# author
author:
name: nickname
first_name: firstname
last_name: lastname
email: your_email@example.com
facebook_username: facebook_example
github_username: 'github_example'
head_img: 'path/of/head/img'
# blog img path
img_path: '/path/of/blog/img/'
If you start server on localhost, you can turn on # url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000"
.
Pagination
The pagination in jekyll is not very perfect,so I use front-end web method,there is a blog about the method and you can refer to jPages.
Page counter
Many third party page counter platform is to slow,so I count my website page view myself,the javascript file is static/js/count_index.js
,the backend is Leancloud.
Multilingual Page
The landing page has multilingual support with the i18next plugin.
Languages are configured in the config.yml
file.
Step 1
Add a new language entry
languages:
- locale: 'en'
flag: 'static/img/flags/United-States.png'
- locale: '<language_locale>'
flag: '<language_flag_url>'
Step 2
Add a new json (static/locales/<language_locale>.json
) file that contains the translations for the new locale.
Example en.json
{
"website":{
"title": "Jalpc"
},
"nav":{
"home": "Home",
"about_me": "About",
"skills": "Skills",
"career": "Career",
"blog": "Blog",
"contact": "Contact"
}
}
Step 3
Next you need to add html indicators in all place you want to use i18n.(_includes/sections/*.html
and index.html
)
Example:
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#page-top" id="i18_title"><span data-i18n="website.title">{{ site.title }}</span></a>
Step 4
Next you need to initialise the i18next plugin(index.html
):
$.i18n.init(
resGetPath: 'locales/__lng__.json',
load: 'unspecific',
fallbackLng: false,
lng: 'en'
}, function (t)
$('#i18_title').i18n();
});
Web analytics
I use Baidu analytics, Google analytics and GrowingIO to do web analytics, you can choose either to realize it,just register a account and replace id in _config.yml
.
Comment
I use Changyan and Disqus to realize comment.
Changyan
To configure Changyan, get the appid and conf in http://changyan.kuaizhan.com/. Then, in _config.yml
, edit the changyan value to enable Changyan.
Disqus
To configure Disqus,you should set disqus_shortname and get public key and then, in _config.yml
, edit the disqus value to enable Disqus.
Share
I use bshare to share my blog on other social network platform. You can register a count and get your share uuid.
Search engines
I use javascript to realize blog search,you can double click Ctrl
or click the icon at lower right corner of the page,the detail you can got to this repo: https://github.com/androiddevelop/jekyll-search.
Just use it.
CNAME
Replace your website domain in CNAME file.
Put in a Jalpc Plug
If you want to give credit to the Jalpc theme with a link to my personal website http://www.jack003.com, that'd be awesome. No worries if you don't.
Enjoy
Hope you enjoy using Jalpc. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to let me know by creating an issue. I'd love to help.
Upgrading Jalpc
Jalpc is always being improved by its users, so sometimes one may need to upgrade.
Ensure there's an upstream remote
If git remote -v
doesn't have an upstream listed, you can do the following to add it:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/Jack614/jalpc_jekyll_theme.git
Pull in the latest changes
git pull upstream gh-pages
There may be merge conflicts, so be sure to fix the files that git lists if they occur. That's it!
