There is an example site with config file and markdown files in exampleSite directory.

Take a look inside the exampleSite folder of this theme. You'll find a file called config.toml.

To use it, copy the config.toml in the root folder of your Hugo site. Feel free to change strings as you like to customize your website.

Use the about page to introduce yourself to your visitors. You can customize the content as you like in the /content/about/_index.md.

Use the tags page to show all post's tags. You can create the file /content/tags/_index.md and set hidden = true so that the page does not show on your home page or other lists of pages.

For example:

+++
date = "2015-06-20T14:02:37+02:00"
title = "Tags"
hidden = true
+++

Furthermore, you should replace the avatar placeholder with a great image of yourself.

Pages can be hidden and don't appear in the post list on the homepage if you add the variable hidden = true to the frontmatter. This allows you to link from elsewhere, i.e. just the menu.

This theme features a comment system powered by Disqus. Just add your Disqus-shortname to the config.toml and set enableDisqus = true, then let readers respond to your blog posts.

This theme features a comment system powered by Duoshuo too. Duoshuo is mainly provide for Chinese users. Just add your Duoshuo-shortname to the config.toml and set enableDuoshuo = true.

Just set both enableDisqus = false and enableDuoshuo = false if you want to disable comment.

This theme use Google Analytics defalut. If you want to disable Google Analytics, just set enableGoogleAnalytics = false in config.toml.

This theme alse features Baidu Tongji for Chinese users. To use Baidu Tongji you should set enableBaiduAnalytics = true and set baiduAnalytics to your Baidu Tongji Code which looks like 39843ea392201290bd6f76173d2e0000 in config.toml.

You can add a social link panel in the footer by adding entries to the social block in the config.toml. You can choose between two icon fonts:

• Font awesome or
• Mono social icons

Assign either font-awesome or mono-social to the iconFont variable. The Mono social icons offer three styles of icons: -circle, rounded, or default (empty).

In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server.

$ hugo server

Now enter localhost:1313 in the address bar of your browser.
