Octopress Genesis (A work in progress)

A new theme build on Octopress Ink.

Note: This theme is in alpha development. What's left to do? See the issues.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'octopress-genesis-theme'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install octopress-genesis-theme

Next add it to your gems list in Jekyll's _config.yml

gems:
  - octopress-genesis-theme

Usage

This is best demonstrated on a new Jekyll site:

Create a new Jekyll site.
Add some posts or pages.
Ensure that posts have the layout theme:post, and pages theme:page
Run jekyll server and check it out.

Configuration

To configure this theme, create a _plugins/theme/config.yml and add your settings. Here are the defaults.

# Settings for main header
header:
  title: My Octopress Blog
  subtitle: A clever subtitle (optional)

# Links for main navigation
nav:
  - { url: '/', title: 'Home' }
  - { url: '/archive', title: 'Archive' }
  - { url: '/feed', title: 'RSS' }

# Settings for category index generator
category:
  prefix: Category
  url:    category

post_index:
  excerpt_posts: true
  permalink_label: "Permalink"
  read_more_label: "Continue Reading &rarr;"

# Center the text in post and page headings.
center-headings: true

You can also easily overwrite stylesheets, layouts, partials and basically everything about this plugin by adding a copy of that file in the _plugins/theme directory. More on that later.
