Solid. A Bootstrap theme for Jekyll.
This is a Jekyll port of the Solid theme by blacktie.co. Visit the live demo for a preview.
##Usage This theme can be customized, built and published straight from GitHub, thanks to GitHub Pages. A local installation of Jekyll isn't even necessary!
Fork this repository to get started.
####Customize
Most general settings and data like site name, colors, address, etc. can be configured and changed right in the main config file: /_config.yml
The content of the Home page can be changed here: /home.html
The content of the About page can be changed here: /about.html
The content of the Portfolio page can be changed here:/portfolio.html
The content of the Contact page can be changed here:/contact.html
####Add content
Delete the demo content and publish your own content.

####Publish
To publish with GitHub Pages, simply create a branch called gh-pagesin your repository. GitHub will build your site automatically and publish it at http://yourusername.github.io/repositoryname/.
If there are problems with loading assets like CSS files and images, make sure that the baseurl in the _config.ymlis set correctly (it should say /repositoryname).
If you want to host your website somewhere else than GitHub (or just would like to customize and build your site locally), please check out the Jekyll documentation.
