I not only got the Minimal theme working, I added ON TOP of that with this theme called Hyde. It’s pretty luxe.
One really interesting feature is that it injects the CSS into each layout using a file called head.html. This content is injected into the <head> section of each default layout (all other layouts, such as “post”, are then built ON TOP of default).
It’s also caused some weird issues where the CSS will be applied at /, but not other pages like /cv or /blog. I had to dig around and fiddle around, and it’s hard to tell if I did the right thing or not.
Things left to do
There’s a weird thing going on where if I click “Home” on the sidebar, it doesn’t go home
The items on the sidebar nav change order (specifically “Alex Dou’s Blog). The theme automatically creates these links for any post with a layout of “page”
I still want to have an intro that doesn’t feel so “stubby” on Home
I still need to have a photo viewer for the Photography section
