Installation & Setup

Using RubyGems

When installing the theme using RubyGems, demo images, posts, and pages are not included. Follow the instructions below for complete setup.

(Optional) Create a new Jekyll site: jekyll new my-site
Replace the current theme in your Gemfile with gem "jekyll-theme-clean-blog".
Install the theme (run the command inside your site directory): bundle install
Replace the current theme in your _config.yml file with theme: jekyll-theme-clean-blog.
Build your site: bundle exec jekyll serve

Assuming there are no errors and the site is building properly, follow these steps next:

Create the following pages if they do not exist already (or change the extension of existing markdown files from .md to .html):
- index.html - set to layout: home
- about.html - set to layout: page
- contact.html - set to layout: page
- posts/index.html - set to layout: page (you will also need to create a posts directory)

Configure the index.html front matter. Example:

---
layout: home
background: '/PATH_TO_IMAGE'
---

Configure the about.html, contact.html, and posts/index.html front matter. Example:

---
layout: page
title: Page Title
description: This is the page description.
background: '/PATH_TO_IMAGE'
---

For each post in the _posts directory, update the front matter. Example:
```
---
layout: post
title: "Post Title"
subtitle: "This is the post subtitle."
date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
background: '/PATH_TO_IMAGE'
---
```
For reference, look at the demo repository to see how the files are set up.

Add the form to the contact.html page. Add the following code to your contact.html page:

<form name="sentMessage" id="contactForm" novalidate>
  <div class="control-group">
    <div class="form-group floating-label-form-group controls">
      <label>Name</label>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" id="name" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your name.">
      <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="control-group">
    <div class="form-group floating-label-form-group controls">
      <label>Email Address</label>
      <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" id="email" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your email address.">
      <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="control-group">
    <div class="form-group col-xs-12 floating-label-form-group controls">
      <label>Phone Number</label>
      <input type="tel" class="form-control" placeholder="Phone Number" id="phone" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your phone number.">
      <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="control-group">
    <div class="form-group floating-label-form-group controls">
      <label>Message</label>
      <textarea rows="5" class="form-control" placeholder="Message" id="message" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter a message."></textarea>
      <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
    </div>
  </div>
  <br>
  <div id="success"></div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="sendMessageButton">Send</button>
  </div>
</form>

Make sure you have the email setting in your _config.yml file set to a working email address! Once this is set, fill out the form and then check your email, verify the email address using the link sent to you by Formspree, and then the form will be working!

Build your site: bundle exec jekyll serve
