Live Demo — Subtheme 1 // Live Demo — Subtheme 2// Source Code

Bohemian is a pelican theme I wrote to use here on my github page, replacing my older Clean theme. It’s Free, Responsive, Open Source, & Typographically Tasteful; built to provide a great reading experience with minimal clutter, Bohemian will ready your Pelican site for 21st century.

Features

• Fully Responsive
• Lightweight
• Two Handsome Subthemes build on the same base … the one on this site and the theme used by Science Class
• Handsome webfonts served by Brick for blazing speed, Alegreya for subtheme 1, Playfair Display & Crimson Roman for Subtheme2
• Modern, clutter free design makes for a great reading experience.
• Option to use text or image for the logo

Clean up code

The code works but is a bit of a mess. I need to clean it up when I get a chance:

• Make CSS conform to @mdo Code guide
• Finish converting unused selectors to BEM
• Improve how images are handled (thumbnails + responsive delivery?)
