Strata comes with the jekyll-seo-tag plugin preinstalled. It uses the logo attribute as the site's avatar. Otherwise see usage for more details on the SEO plugin.

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

This theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test this theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using this theme and contents. As you make modifications, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh.

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.

This Jekyll theme is taken from Strata by HTML5 UP. Additionally, a lot inspiration was taken from Minima.

A simple, minimalist template that actually began life as an unused redesign of my
personal site. Includes a (configurable) parallax background effect, Poptrox-powered
lightbox gallery, a bunch of pre-styled elements, and Sass sources for the Sass-inclined.
