Pelican blog theme.

MinimalXY Pelican Theme

MinimalXY Pelican theme is extended from minimalX by art1fa.

I made some improvements, polishing and SEO optimization. The main purpose of this fork is to keep everything simple and focus on content. I removed all unnecessary parts. You can see this theme live here: blog.petrnohejl.cz.

• Good usability, simple & intuitive navigation
• Focus on what's really important – your articles
• Presented in a clean and straightforward way

Features

• Fully responsive and mobile-first
• Comments via Disqus integration
• Social media buttons

Screenshots

minimal-xy's Issues

pelican-ipynb prettification

Something that was really bugging me was the extra margin whitespace on code cells when rendering Jupyter/IPython Notebooks using the aforementioned plugin.

My temporary fix was commenting out line 234 on style.css on my local clone:

  /* margin: 3rem 0; */

Sorry for inverting the order. It's after and before:

I don't know the implications of removing this margin yet.

[HELP] Setup Disqus on Pelican/theme

hi @petrnohejl ,

I have a fork of the repo and I'm trying to activate Disqus service on my static page. So far, I have registered on Disqus and added private, public keys on pelicanconf.py file (https://github.com/NaveenKarippai/NaveenKarippai.github.io) but with no success. The Disqus comment box doesn't load and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further.

Any pointers, or help would be appreciated! I could not find contact mail, so had to open a ticket here.

Many Thanks!

Help with favicon

The favicon.ico file is being correctly moved to the root folder, but it does not appear as an icon on my published website.

Right now this is what I'm doing:

# according to https://github.com/getpelican/pelican/wiki/Tips-n-Tricks
STATIC_PATHS = ['images', 'extra/robots.txt', 'extra/favicon.ico']
EXTRA_PATH_METADATA = {
    'extra/robots.txt': {'path': 'robots.txt'},
    'extra/favicon.ico': {'path': 'favicon.ico'}
}

and

MINIMALXY_FAVICON = '/path/to/favicon.ico'

Is there a proper way to do this? What could I possibly be doing wrong? What the MINIMALXY_FAVICON is doing here?

P.S. Thanks for the theme, it's great!

custom.css?

The example configuration points to custom.css which is not part of the theme... do we need to create that file?
