A few suggestions to help you get a good looking site quickly:
- Keep blog posts in the
content/postdirectory, for example:content/post/my-first-post.md - Keep static pages in the
contentdirectory, for example:content/about.md - Keep media like images in the
staticdirectory, for example:static/2016/10/screenshot.png - If you want an image to be shown when you share a post on social media, specify at least one image in the post's front matter, for example:
images: ["/2016/10/screenshot.png"] - Use the
<!--more-->tag in posts to control how much of a post is shown on summary pages - Disable comments on a post by setting
comments = falsein its frontmatter - Disable social sharing icons site wide (or on individual pages/posts) by setting
sharingicons = false - If your content is stored in git, add
enableGitInfo = trueto your site config and Hugo will use git history to set a more accurate modification date in page metadata

This theme uses the Bootstrap framework. A static version of this is already included, but if you want to bump the version, tweak the style, etc, you'll need to rebuild the assets. Make sure you have NodeJS v6 or v7 installed, and then run the following from inside the theme's directory:
$ npm install
$ npm run buildThere are several ways to help with the development of the theme:
- Open an issue on GitHub if you have problems or feature requests
- Alternatively, tackle one of the existing issues on the issue tracker
- Fork the repository on GitHub, add features on a "feature" branch like
update-bootstrap, and then send a pull request with your changes
