Launching with Github Pages 🚀

Jekyll + Github pages is a marriage made in heaven. You can use your own custom domain name or use the default Github url (ie. http://username.github.io/repository) and not bother messing around with DNS settings.

Theme Features

Navigation

Navigation can be customized in _config.yml under the nav_item key. Default settings:

nav_item:
    - { url: '/', text: 'Home' }
    - { url: '/about', text: 'About' }

Set the nav_enable variable to false in _config.yml to disable navigation.

Contact Form

You can display a contact form within the modal window template. This template is already setup to use the Formspree email system. You'll just want to add your email address to the form in /_includes/contact-modal.html.

Place the modal window template in any place you'd like the user to click for the contact form. The template will display a link to click for the contact form modal window:

{% include contact.html %}
{% include contact-modal.html %}

Animation Effects

Animations with CSS classes are baked into the theme. To animate a section or element, simply add the animation classes:

<div id="about-me" class="wow fadeIn">
  I'm the coolest!
</div>

For a complete list of animations, see the animation list.

Pagination

By default, pagination on the home page will activate after 10 posts. You can change this within _config.yml. You can add the pagination to other layouts with:

  {% for post in paginator.posts %}
    {% include post-content.html %}
  {% endfor %}

  {% include pagination.html %}
