This is a modification to the Pillar Bootstrap 4 Theme. It has been converted to use the Jekyll static site builder. This allows you to host your Résumé on Github.com or other static hosting services.
Located in the _data
directory is a yml
file that is broken into sections.
The nice thing about this theme is that is looks pretty good printed right out of the boxes. However, you might be tempted to add a lot of detail on your work history since you have infinite vertical scrolling. To combat the printer fatigue, you can use pure HTML in your descriptions and use Bootstrap 4's media queries to exclude some content when your resume is printed.
You can see some example of this in the data for my Resume. I include sections of HTML with the tag:
<div class="d-print-none" markdown="1">
.
.
.
</div>
These sections are then excluded when my Resume is printed. You can also force a
page break for printing if you want to ensure a new history section starts on a
new page when printed. This can be done by including page_break: true
as one
of the properies for your role
To set the theme primary color you can set inside the _config.yml
file the
variable theme_color
. It can be one of the following values:
This uses YAML anchors, so ensure you include the *
infront of the variable
name.
To support better printing, @media
queries have been added to the Pillar theme
to remove the box-shadow
from the resume-wrapper-inner
class and set the
background
of the boyd
to white
.
I really like this website for helping to generate favicons:
https://realfavicongenerator.net
Dump the contents in the root of this template for them to automatically be used.
The device specific icons that use color, will use the primary color you select for your theme.
