A simple theme for showcasing your work, emphasis on whitespace, transparency, and helvetica.
This Jekyll theme implements collections to let you break up your work into categories. The example is divided into poetry and portfolio, but easily revamp this into recipes, apps, short stories, limmericks, whatever your creative work is.
To do this, edit the collections in the config file, create a corresponding folder, and update the portfolio and poetry source files.
Three different layouts are included—the poetry layout, for a simple list of entries, the blog layout (index.html), for more detailed descriptive list of entries, and the portfolio layout. The portfolio layout overlays a descriptive hoverover on a background image. If no image is provided, the square is auto-filled with the chosen theme color. Thumbnail sizing is not necessary, as the grid crops images perfectly.
Six beautiful theme colors have been selected to choose from. The default is red, but quickly change it by editing the _base.scss file in line 40. The color variable are listed there, as well.
Photo formatting is made simple using rows of a 3-column system. Make photos 1/3, 2/3, or full width. Easily create beautiful grids within your blog posts and projects pages.
This theme implements Jekyll's built in code syntax highlighting with Pygments. Just use a liquid tag to delineate your code: {% highlight python %} code code code {% endhighlight %}
