Inspired by dangrover.com. Current theme used at eliottvincent.com.

Installation

The easiest solution is to fork this repo. If you want to start from a clean website, follow the steps bellow:

Create a new Jekyll website:

jekyll new mysite

Open Gemfile and replace the line:

gem "minima"

with:

gem "bay_jekyll_theme"

Open _config.yml and replace the line:

theme: minima

with:

theme: bay_jekyll_theme

or, for GitHub Pages:

remote_theme: eliottvincent/bay

Finally, install the dependencies:

bundle install

and build the website!

jekyll serve

The website will look somewhat empty at first. That's normal. Follow the next instructions to complete the header and footer components, and the home and blog pages.

Header

Open the _config.yml file and add the following:

header:
  pages:
    - name: Home
      slug: /     # <-- index.md
    - name: Blog  # <-- blog.md
    - name: Whatever  # <-- whatever.md

Re-run jekyll serve to see the header updated.

Footer

Open the _config.yml file and add the following:

footer:
  show_powered_by: true
  contact:
    - name: Email
      value: [email protected]
      link: mailto:[email protected]
    - name: WeChat

    - name: Weibo
      link: http://weibo.com/u/YourWeiboUsername
    - name: RSS
      link: /feed.xml

Re-run jekyll serve to see the footer updated.
