Content & structure

Starting fresh

If you are starting fresh, simply copy over the contents of the exampleSite-directory included in this theme to your source directory. That should give you a good idea about how things work, and then you can go on from there to make the site your own.

Adding / editing content

Index-Page

The contents of the index-page may be changed by editing your content/_index.md-file.

Page

You can add a new page via running

hugo new my-new-page.md

Blog-Post

You can add a new blog-post via running

hugo new blog/my-new-post.md

Adding your branding / colors / css

Add a custom_head.html-file to your layouts/partials-directory. In there you may add a <style>-tag, or you may add a <link>-tag referencing your own custom.css (in case you prefer to have a separate .css-file). Check out the style.html-file to find out which CSS-styles are applied by default.
