An inarguably well-designed Jekyll theme.

Overview

This Jekyll theme, inspired by Christopher Hitchens' book "Arguably," is a well-designed theme by Pat Dryburgh. It is dedicated to the memory of Hitchens and offers users the ability to create a Jekyll powered blog. The theme includes features such as a home layout, navigation menu, pagination, excerpts, and the ability to publish title-less posts.

Features

  • Home Layout: The theme presents a list of articles ordered chronologically.
  • Navigation: Users can include a navigation menu in the site's masthead and footer.
  • Pagination: The theme uses Jekyll's built-in pagination, which can be configured in the site's _config.yml file.
  • Excerpts: Users can show excerpts of blog posts on the home page, with the ability to customize the number of words shown.
  • Title-less Posts: Users can publish posts without titles, with the home page displaying a truncated excerpt of the first paragraph of the post.
