Typographical

Thank you for choosing Typographical as your Jekyll theme! Typographical is a minimalist Jekyll theme focused on typography. This theme is for you if you are a writer or a storyteller.

Installation

Installation is straightforward. There are three modes in which you can use the theme.

1. As a Ruby Gem. (Recommended)
2. As a GitHub remote theme.
3. A fork of this repository.

Install as Ruby Gem

Very simple, very straightforward. Also, this will ensure updates to your site design as and when they are released.

1. Add this line to your Jekyll site’s Gemfile:

gem "typographical"

2. Install the gems and dependencies:

$ bundle

3. And add this line to your Jekyll site’s _config.yml:

theme: typographical

permalink: /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate: 5

Remove any other theme: lines in your _config.yml

4. Create two pages, about.md and archive.html under _pages. Copy the code from this repository. Not doing this will result in broken links in the navigation.

GitHub Pages method

Use this method if you are using GitHub Pages to host your site.

1. Add the following lines to your Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
gem "jekyll-paginate"

2. Install the gems:

$ bundle

3. In your _config.yml, add the following:

remote_theme: theramiyer/typographical

permalink: /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate: 5

plugins:
  - jekyll-paginate
  - jekyll-remote-theme

4. Remove any other theme: or remote_theme: lines.
5. Create two pages, about.md and archive.html under _pages. Copy the code from this repository. Not doing this will result in broken links in the navigation.

1. Fork this repository
2. Delete the typographical.gemspec file.
3. Configure the Gemfile appropriately. (Basically, include the gems specified in the gemspec file, in the right format.)
