Bretty

Bretty is a simple and pretty Jekyll theme. Wanna see a demo? here

The theme is mobile optimised but I did not check browser compatibility. It looks great in Chrome, Safari and Firefox though.

Get started

1. Fork the repository.
2. Clone the repository to your computer.

Options

When writing a post, there are 3 options you can add to the header.

1. date: 2013-05-06 18:07:17
   Date is not a required header since Jekyll reads the file name for date, this was added in only for the signoff time. (as shown at the end of this post) If you don't want the signoff time, go into /_layouts/post.html remove specific tag.

2. description: post description goes here
   You can add post description with this tag. Long description is not advised.

3. author: Tom
   The default author will be set by the user_name in _config.yml file. But you still can reset the post author with author tag.
