helmit

A spiffy, minimal theme based on information- and text-first, sans-serif designs. Created for a site featuring blog posts and project posts for a single developer or artist. Based off Broccolini's Swiss theme with some design cues from academic, digital, and philosophy publishing layouts.

Installation

Clone this repo.

Usage

Make some changes to make the site more you while you're adding content:

  • Start by configuring the site! Go to _config.yml and fill in as necessary.
  • Edit the content in layouts/homepage.html for the blurbs on the front page.
  • Revise the copyright notice in _includes/footer.html to take ownership! Maybe use a Creative Commons if you're feeling generous.
  • Put your content into the site! Remember to put a datestamp at the start of the filename for stuff in _posts. The sample content can give an example of how it works.
  • Change the site's style -- _sass/variables.scss lets you mingle with the colors and fonts.
  • The site is configured to be used as a personal site that features blog posts and project posts in two separate sections. If you have additional categories to add, then make another page in the root directory with yourcategoryname.html as the filename; you can just copy and paste content from blog.html and replace the word 'blog' with your category's name. Done.

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.
