Hobbies

Welcome to Hobbies, a Jekyll theme made for developers who want to say a little more than "Hello World!"

Hobbies is inspired by the minimal aesthetic of minima and the colors of hyper-snazzy. A warm "Thank You!" to these inspirations.

The theme should always be considered a BETA product, and large design and aesthetic changes may always occur on the theme. As I continue to grow up, my sense of style and design changes, and so this theme will change along with it! Any design I deem as a final "product" will be put into its own repository.

Requirements/Installation

Follow the instructions below in order to install Hobbies into your own Jekyll site!

Requirements

You'll need an instance of Jekyll! Check out the Jekyll documentation to find out how to make your own Jekyll site. You'll also need the internet, but if you're viewing this here, there's a safe chance you have access to it 😄.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "hobbies"

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

Contributing

License

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.

hobbies's Issues

Complete CSS

Table Does Not Appear

Markdown tables do not render with table borders. They probably should.

To-Do:

• Add CSS to render Tables in Markdown

Buggy RSS Feed

Currently, it seems like the only way to get access to the RSS feed is by specifically typing in /feed.xml after the set domain in the site. There should be a way to redirect the common terms like feed, rss, and atom afterwards to make it redirect to the feed.xml.

In addition, the RSS feed may not be publishing to old clients. I'm not sure if this is a real issue or not, which is why I'm lumping it in with this one.

Both may be served by going directly to the jekyll-feed project itself.

To-Do:

• Isolate Problem
• Research
• Fix Bug

Add Picture to Website Title

Original design had a picture in the top-left corner of the website. However, during development there were problems adding in the feature due to lack of knowledge. I would like to add the feature again.

To-Do:

• Research IMG additions in CSS/HTML
• Implement picture in corner
• Allow user to change picture

CI for RubyGems

Add auto-deployment to RubyGems in CircleCI
