# So Simple Theme
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
## So Simple Theme is all about:
|
|
|
|
* Responsive templates. Looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
|
|
* Readable typography to make your words shine.
|
|
* Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 9+ and all modern browsers.
|
|
* Minimal embellishments and subtle animations.
|
|
* Support for large images to call out your favorite posts.
|
|
* Disqus comments if you choose to enable.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Simple search that overlays results based on post title.
|
|
* Grunt build script for easier theme development.

General notes and suggestions for customizing So Simple Theme.

## Basic Setup for new Jekyll site
|
|
|
|
1. [Install Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and read through the documentation if you haven't already.
|
|
2. [Install Jekyll Extra - Kramdown](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/extras/#kramdown)
|
|
3. Fork the [So Simple Theme repo](https://github.com/mmistakes/so-simple-theme/fork)
|
|
4. Clone the repo you just forked.
|
|
5. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
|
|
6. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
|
|
7. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
|
|
|
|
[Download the Theme](http://mmistakes.github.io/so-simple-theme)
|
|
|
|
**Pro-tip:** Delete the `gh-pages` branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off `master`. There is a bunch of garbage in `gh-pages` used for the theme's demo site that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.

## Setup for Existing Jekyll site

|
|
|
1. Clone the following folders: `_includes`, `_layouts`, `assets`, and `images`.
|
|
2. Clone the following files and personalize content as need: `about.md`, `articles.html`, `index.html`, `tags.html`, `feed.xml`, and `sitemap.xml`.
|
|
3. Set the following variables in your `config.yml` file:

# PS. If you set this wrong stylesheets and scripts won't load and most links will break.
