Theme Customization

This site uses the Minima Jekyll theme, with the Solarized Dark skin configured in _config.yml. Any skin should be able to be configured without issue.

Minima sass has not been modified, all custom styling is layered on in _sass/minima/custom-styles.scss and _sass/minima/custom-vaiables.scss. Avoid editing Minima CSS if possible. It should generally not be necessary to do so.

Formatting a Blog Post

Inside the front matter you need to include the

• Title
• Tags
• Author

A default post layout and excerpt_separator are configured in _config.yml.

Example:

---
title: How to be a pirate
tags: pirates how-to sailing
author: Sascha
---

Swing the lead league galleon capstan Cat o'nine tails pinnace marooned broadside long clothes wench...

Do not add the title as a h1 header to the top of your post body.

BAD:

---
title: How to be a pirate
tags: pirates sailing
author: Sascha
---

# How to be a pirate

Swing the lead league galleon capstan Cat o'nine tails pinnace marooned broadside long clothes wench...

Add a teaser tag

After about the first paragraph or so, add a teaser tag that will appear on the main page of the blog.

---
title: "Sea creatures in my beard this week"
author: Sascha
---

Alerts

Kramdown is the default Markdown renderer for Jekyll. It supports adding classes to markdown elements like so:

A paragraph with a class of `.alert`.
{: .alert }

Elements can be styled as alerts by adding alert classes, as in the example above. See style-guide.md for details.

Code Blocks

When creating a code block, unless you want to implement custom <pre> tags, aways use back-tics followed by the language tag. This is the only way to add custom syntax highlighting.

```javascript
var memjs = require('memjs')

var mc = memjs.Client.create(process.env.MEMCACHIER_SERVERS, {
  failover: true,  // default: false
  timeout: 1,      // default: 0.5 (seconds)
  keepAlive: true  // default: false
})

mc.set('hello', 'memcachier', {expires:0}, function(err, val) {
  if(err != null) {
    console.log('Error setting value: ' + err)
  }
})

...
```

Including code blocks in lists.

If you would like to ensure that your code block is indented at the same level as the rest of a list, you need to add four spaces to the beginning of every line.

1. Foo

2. Bar

   \```javascript
   console.log("foobar")
   \```

   and then some stuff after the code block is done.

3. Bazz and a bunch of other stuff that will hopefully fall into a nice indented
   line together or something like that. yadda yadda yadda.
