Looking for a simple, responsive, theme for your Jekyll powered blog? Well look no further. Here be **So Simple Theme**, the followup to [**Minimal Mistakes**](http://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/) -- by designer slash illustrator [Michael Rose](http://mademistakes.com).
* Tags for [Open Graph](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/) and [Twitter Cards](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards) for a better social sharing experience.
* Vanilla [custom 404 page]({{ site.url }}/404.html) to get you started.
* Stylesheets for Pygments and Coderay [syntax highlighting](http://mmistakes.github.io/articles/so-simple-theme/code-highlighting-post/) to make your code examples look snazzy.
1. [Install Bundler](http://bundler.io) `gem install bundler` and then install [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and all dependencies `bundle install`.
2. Fork the [So Simple Theme repo](https://github.com/mmistakes/so-simple-theme/fork).
3. Clone the repo you just forked and rename it.
4. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
5. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
6. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
[Download the Theme](https://github.com/mmistakes/so-simple-theme/archive/master.zip)
**Pro-tip:** Remove the sample posts in `_posts` and the `gh-pages` branch after cloning. There is a bunch of garbage in the `gh-pages` branch used for the theme's demo site.
For full customization details and more information on the theme check out the [So Simple theme setup guide](http://mmistakes.github.io/so-simple-theme/theme-setup/).
