As I <a href="http://panossakkos.github.io/tech/2015/06/27/blogging-like-a-hacker.html" target="_blank">wrote</a> before,
|
|
I wanted to open-source the current theme because I believe that it adds value to the existing Jekyll themes.
|
|
Also, I feel that I owe it back to the community, because without the existing code that I forked, I would never have the current blog.
|
|
And I love this blog.
|
|
|
|
The value of *{ Personal }* is that it enables blogging in the <a href="http://kirbyt.github.io/timeline-jekyll-theme/" target="_blank">Timeline</a> theme
|
|
(which is a mashup of the popular <a href="http://y7kim.github.io/agency-jekyll-theme/" target="_blank">Agency</a> and <a href="http://ironsummitmedia.github.io/startbootstrap-grayscale/" target="_blank">Grayscale</a> themes),
|
|
it personalizes more the theme by focusing on its owner,
|
|
it makes it easy to customize the website from Jekyll's config and it offers a cool <a href="http://panossakkos.github.io/404.html" target="_blank">404</a> page.
|
|
|
|
The visual touches that I believe that make the theme a bit more personal,
|
|
is the owner's picture in the home page, and the blurred background, because it forces the eye to focus on the owner's photo.
|
|
Moreover, Grayscale's neutral glyphicon of the header is replaced by a black and white version of the favicon.
|
|
|
|
The repo lives <a href="https://github.com/PanosSakkos/personal-jekyll-theme" target="_blank">here</a> and it's under <a href="https://github.com/mattvh/jekyllthemes/pull/134" target="_blank">pull request</a> for <a href="http://jekyllthemes.org/" target="_blank">Jekyll Themes</a> and indexed in Jekyll's themes <a href="https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/wiki/Themes" target="_blank">wiki</a>.
|

|
Of course, the theme will evolve over the time and as soon as time permits, the blog will support discovery with hashtags.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to support the repo by starring it ;)
