Configurations

Akio theme comes with different customizations the _data/settings.yml and config.yml files:

Installing Ruby & Jekyll

If this is your first time using Jekyll, please follow the Jekyll docs and make sure your local environment (including Ruby) is setup correctly.

Deployment

To run the theme locally, navigate to the theme directory and run bundle install to install the dependencies, then run bundle exec jekyll serve to start the Jekyll server.

I would recommend checking the Deployment Methods page on Jekyll website.

Posts

To create a new post, you can create a new markdown file inside the _posts directory by following the recommended file structure.

You can set the title, description, image, image_caption, and the post tags.

Add post images to /images/ directory.

Full width image

To have wide images in posts or pages simply add #wide word with the hashtag at the end of image path like in the example below:

![River]({{site.baseurl}}/images/15-1.jpg#wide)

For tags, try to not add space between two words, for example, Ruby on Rails, could be something like (ruby-on-rails, Ruby_on_Rails, or Ruby-on-Rails).

Pages

To create a new page, just create a new markdown file inside the _pages directory.

The following is the about.md file that you can find as an example included in the theme with the configurations you can set.

Things you can change are: title, description, image, and image_caption.

Works

To create a new work, just create a new markdown file inside the _works directory.

The following is the 2022-01-05-mental-health.md file that you can find as an example included in the theme with the configurations you can set.

Things you can change are: title, description, category, role, image, and image_caption.

Gallery

Use HTML markup to use gallery on pages. For example:

Don't forget to provide the correct path for your images.

Navigation

This allows you to set the links inside your menu. Add each one as a list item with a title and url. Make sure you leave a trailing / at the end of links to category pages (e.g. /blog/ or /work/).

Disqus Comments

Akio Theme comes with Disqus comments enabled.

Open settings.yml file, and change the anvod-studio-test value on line 195 with your Disqus account shortname.

That’s all you need to setup Disqus from the theme side. If you get any issue regarding that comments are unable to load. First, make sure you have registered your website with Disqus (Step 1).

And also check Disqus troubleshooting guide if you still have issues.

Google Analytics

To integrate Google Analytics, open settings.yml, and add your Google Analytics identifier.

Update favicon

You can find the current favicon (favicon.ico) inside the theme root directory, just replace it with your new favicon.
