Body text

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, test link adipiscing elit. This is strong. Nullam dignissim convallis est. Quisque aliquam.

This is emphasized. Donec faucibus. Nunc iaculis suscipit dui. 53 = 125. Water is H₂O. Nam sit amet sem. Aliquam libero nisi, imperdiet at, tincidunt nec, gravida vehicula, nisl. The New York Times (That’s a citation). Underline. Maecenas ornare tortor. Donec sed tellus eget sapien fringilla nonummy. Mauris a ante. Suspendisse quam sem, consequat at, commodo vitae, feugiat in, nunc. Morbi imperdiet augue quis tellus.

HTML and CSS are our tools. Mauris a ante. Suspendisse quam sem, consequat at, commodo vitae, feugiat in, nunc. Morbi imperdiet augue quis tellus. Praesent mattis, massa quis luctus fermentum, turpis mi volutpat justo, eu volutpat enim diam eget metus.

If you want to show just a part of your post in the come page, add the <!-- more --> tag to your post content. Everything after this tag will be hidden from the page listing page.

Code Snippets

Syntax highlighting via Pygments

#container {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

Non Pygments code example

<div id="awesome">
    <p>This is great isn't it?</p>
</div>

Buttons

Make any link standout more when applying the .btn class.

<a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Success Button</a>

Post Featured Image

To show an image banner at top of your post, use add the following code:

image:
    feature: <name of the image>
    credit: <source of the image - optional>
    creditlink: <source of the image (url) - optional>

The image must be in the /images folder.

Syntax highlighting is a feature that displays source code, in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms. This feature facilitates writing in a structured language such as a programming language or a markup language as both structures and syntax errors are visually distinct. Highlighting does not affect the meaning of the text itself; it is intended only for human readers.¹

This is a sample post to show the dark post theme. To use this dark theme, just add:

    layout: dark-post

on your post. This theme adds a dark background with a white panel to show your content.

Here be a sample post with a custom background image. To utilize this “feature” just add the following YAML to a post’s front matter.

image:
  background: filename.png

This little bit of YAML makes the assumption that your background image asset is in the /images folder. If you place it somewhere else or are hotlinking from the web, just include the full http(s):// URL. Either way you should have a background image that is tiled.

If you want to set a background image for the entire site just add background: filename.png to your _config.yml and BOOM — background images on every page!

This theme supports link posts, made famous by John Gruber. To use, just add link: http://url-you-want-linked to the post’s YAML front matter and you’re done.
