Adjust configuration / config.toml

Content & structure

Starting fresh

If you are starting fresh, simply copy over the contents of the exampleSite-directory included in this theme to your source directory. That should give you a good idea about how things work, and then you can go on from there to make the site your own.

Adding content

You can add a new section to the homepage via running

hugo new homepage/my-new-content.md

To create a page separate from the homepage, run

hugo new my-new-page.md

Using icons

This theme includes the full set of Fork Awesome 1.1.7 Icons. Use the {{<icon>}}-shortcode with the respective “fa fa-ICONNAME”-class to use an icon directly in your .markdown files à la

Look at this nice »envelope«-icon: {{<icon class="fa fa-envelope">}}. I took this from https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/icon/envelope/ :-)

For the full list of icons, see Fork Awesome 1.1.7 Icons.

Adding your branding / colors / css

Add a custom_head.html-file to your layouts/partials-directory. In there you may add a <style>-tag or you may add a <link>-tag referencing your own custom.css (in case you prefer to have a separate .css-file). Checkout the custom_head.html-file from the exampleSite-directory to get started and to find more detailed instructions.
