jekyll-zeta

demo page

Features

  • Pagination support - Built-in pagination for blog posts
  • Tags support - Organize and categorize your posts with tags
  • MathJax support - Render mathematical expressions with MathJax
  • Code inclusion support - Include code snippets in your posts
  • Post linking - Link to other posts within your blog
  • Encryption support - Protect sensitive content with password-based encryption. Only users with the correct password can view encrypted articles

Encryption Feature

Important Note:

  • Only textual content of articles will be encrypted; images will NOT be encrypted
  • Images can be encrypted using the asset_img tag (available from v0.11.6)

To encrypt images:

  1. Name your sensitive images with the .sec extension (e.g., name.sec.png)
  2. Add the following exclude configuration to your _config.yml:
exclude:
  - "**/*.sec.*"
  - "*.sec.*"

How to Encrypt Your Posts

  1. Generate your public and private keys to protect your password:
ltectool g

You will receive output similar to:

publickey: AAA
privatekey: BBBBB
  1. Encrypt your password using the public key:
# ltectool e [your publickey] [your password]
# Example:
ltectool e Arkuf0hG0sjifj+G57o4gwPgnXXD72kIhjhSGjyyGCdS 123

# Output:
AQAQACAAIQCVKE9YHFT4pzyMa84kqGK+4Olo3EeDlymDa0oZcsQ48j8S4D4fMFb37gUT4LgrxZQDCFLa402i9VhhMIYWXZP+WSsv2Ia+uQpEH5vYKgDR5vL4xXC/76wXl3K7abU7u9du
  1. Add the encrypted password to your _config.yml:
enc_tags:
  - tag: encrypt1
    password: "123"  # Plain text - NOT recommended

  - tag: encrypt2
    # 123
    password: AQAQACAAIQCVKE9YHFT4pzyMa84kqGK+4Olo3EeDlymDa0oZcsQ48j8S4D4fMFb37gUT4LgrxZQDCFLa402i9VhhMIYWXZP+WSsv2Ia+uQpEH5vYKgDR5vL4xXC/76wXl3K7abU7u9du
  1. Set the private key as an environment variable before running jekyll build, or configure it in your CI environment:
# export JEKYLL_EC_PRIVATEKEY=[Private key]
export JEKYLL_EC_PRIVATEKEY="NWWtiQbDnSDvTdogCzAjqNqHGTZrRXdmXQrEKiv3vNs="

Security Recommendation: For enhanced security, use separate repositories to store your source files and the _site files.

Origin

This theme is based on a minimal, performance-focused design with the following characteristics:

  • Fast - 1KB of CSS! For more information on performance, see the Page Speed Insights report and Lighthouse report
  • Light, dark, and auto modes - Automatic theme switching based on system preferences
  • Responsive - Optimized for all device sizes
  • Content-first - Typography optimized for maximum readability
  • SEO optimized (uses Jekyll SEO Tag)
  • RSS feed (uses Jekyll Feed)
  • Fully compatible with GitHub Pages (see GitHub Pages installation)

Note: You should build the _site directory yourself, as GitHub Pages does not support all Jekyll plugins.

Installation

If you haven't already created your blog using Jekyll, follow the instructions to do so from Jekyll's documentation.

Note: If you are using Jekyll with GitHub Pages, see the GitHub Pages installation section.

Then, to style your blog with this theme, add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-zeta"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jekyll-zeta

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-zeta

Customize the Menu

Edit the theme_config > menu section in _config.yml.

Below is the default configuration:

theme_config:
  menu:
    - title: Home

    - title: Archive
      url: /archive.html
    - title: Tags
      url: /tags.html
    - title: About
      url: /about.html

---
  1. Add an entry to _data/menu.yml:
- title: tags
  url: tags
