They say three times the charm, so here is another free responsive Jekyll theme for you. I’ve learned a ton since open sourcing my first two themes on Github, and wanted to try a few new things this time around. If you’ve used my previous themes most of this should be familiar territory…
_layouts
. Looks great on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.General notes and suggestions for customizing HPSTR.
gem install bundler
and then install Jekyll and all dependencies bundle install
._config.yml
to personalize your site._posts
to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.Pro-tip: Delete the gh-pages
branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off master

used for the theme’s demo site that I’m guessing you don’t want on your site.
