HugoMDL is a multipage responsibe blog/portfolio theme for Hugo. The theme is based on the Material Design Lite sample blog layout.
At present it suits my needs, but feel free to help improve this theme by forking a copy and submitting a pull request.
Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:
$ mkdir themes
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/jchatkinson/HugoMDL
For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.
(Note for myself)
To develop on c9, add the hugo binary to the workspace, then add it to the path using export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/workspace/hugo
To serve the site from c9, cd to site root and use hugo server --bind="0.0.0.0" --port=8080 --watch --disableLiveReload
There are a few different places you need to configure. First, check exampleSite/config.toml for an example site configuration file. Here, you can set site-wide options like background, author name, and contact info.
You can also use this file to configure your site's menu system. The stanzas in this file correspond to the top level items in the site navigation menus. You may rename, remove, or add any entries as you see fit.
If you use the suggested entry names listed in the example configuration file, your site's pages will inherit this theme's formatting. The following subsections detail these specialized styles.
Look at the exampleSite\about.md file for an example 'About' page.
Posts use the following front-matter:
