serejandmyself: The no bullshit blog


Information about the blog style

Build using Jekyll, gh-pages and the lagom template. If you wish to use Lagom, please follow the instructions below:

Lagom

Lagom is a Swedish word with no direct English equivalent, meaning "just the right amount"

Lagom, a [Jekyll][j] blog theme with just the right amount of style.

Extracted lovingly from [http://mdswanson.com][mds] for your enjoyment!

  • Responsive, based on [Skeleton][skeleton]
  • [Font Awesome][font-awesome] for icons
  • Open Sans from [Google web fonts][gfonts]
  • Built-in Atom feed

Installation

  • [Fork this repository][fork]
  • Clone it: git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/lagom
  • Install the [GitHub Pages gem][pages] (includes Jekyll): bundle install
  • Run the jekyll server: jekyll serve

You should have a server up and running locally at http://localhost:4000.

Customization

Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in [theme.yml][config]. That's where you can add your social links, change the accent color, stuff like that.

There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:

  • [CNAME][cname]: If you're using this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name, you'll want to change this to be the domain you're going to use. All that should be in here is a domain name on the first line and nothing else (like: example.com).
  • [favicon.png][favicon]: This is the icon in your browser's address bar. You should change it to whatever you'd like.
  • [logo.png][logo]: A square-ish image that appears in the upper-left corner
