Kikofri, a Jekyll Theme, and a fork of Kiko.

K I K O F R I

Kikofri is a theme for Jekyll that's a fork of the Kiko theme It came about because I like my themes like I like my music: ugly, old and barren. It's an assortment of hacks filtered through web-design choices from the turn of the millennium.

More information about the theme and it's quirks can be found here. A lot of stuff has changed since the last update, 'Kikofri Classic' if you will. Even more importantly, a lot of junk got dumped and other junk got simplified.

You'll see it undead here.

To do:

  • What amounts to "bug-fixes", not much else
  • Listen to Good Friendly Violent Fun by Exodus

How to:

  1. Fork or clone this repository,
  2. Run it: jekyll s
  3. If that doesn't work see General pointers.

General pointers:

  • If you use GitHub you might want to add gh-pages in the Gemfile in addition to consulting the Jekyll documentation.
  • Various stuff, like indentation with µµ, can be used. µ#[somelink][someref]#µ creates Wikipedia-Style references. I call these liquid tweaks micros.
  • Tags can be sorted first under /tags by making the first letter an Upper-case one in the post's front matter
    • To sort something last make the first letter a lower-case one
    • To just sort tags alphabetically use only upper- or lower-case letter consistently throughout posts

Make it a little less ugly:

  1. Change the name and modify nav at _config.yml.
  2. Make some appropriate changes — or inappropriate if you're into those kind of things — in about.md.
  3. Navigate to the _posts directory and remove the example content by writing rm * in your terminal window. (Make sure that you're in the right folder) Might want to do the same under assets/images.
    • While you're at it create a post under _posts/REAL-DA-TE.md with some front matter similar to this:
      title:       "Friends Don't Lie."
description: "No more."
author:      "Eleven"
layout:      post
  4. Type away! Reject my reality and substitute your own!

Want to contribute?

There's no "protocol" for contributing. Noticed that some people actually forked this repository/theme, I always found that to be unlikely. Anyway, there is some room for improvement. So here it goes:

  • Contributions are appreciated.
  • Keep it ugly.
  • When possible keep line length to 79 characters per line, like the recommendations for Python Code.
