frogmore

Frogmore is a simple and minimalistic jekyll blogging theme.

Shoulders of Giants

The theme is an adapted version of Sidey by Ronalds Vilciņš. More than a small bit of additional inspiration from Tom MacWright's site.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "frogmore"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: frogmore

And then execute:

    bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    gem install frogmore

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, _sass and assets tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in frogmore.gemspec accordingly.

Why Frogmore

Frogmore was a paper mill. That's pretty much it.
