Usage

Templates

You can use the following templates:

Manual setup

[show]

To set up manually, add the following to your _config.yml:

remote_theme: jekyll-theme-plain/jekyll-theme-plain

See the template's _config.yml for options.

Layouts

You can override the layout by creating a file of the same name in the _layouts directory.

default
post

Layouts and style sheets are not applied automatically; for posts, you may want to use the front matter defaults in _config.yml:

# Front matter defaults for posts
defaults:
  - scope:
      path: ""
      type: posts
    values:
      layout: post
      stylesheets:
        # - default.css # site-wide style sheet (if any)
        - post.css
      title: "" # if an empty string is specified, the URL is set as the title.

Includes

You can override the include by creating a file of the same name in the _includes directory.

custom-head.html - additional tags to the <head>
post.css - style sheet for posts

You can place a post listing on any page by writing {%- include post-listing.html -%}, and so forth.
