This is my conversion of the Clean Blog template to Middleman.
There are many versions like it, but this one is mine.
My code is ugly. It is not pro-level by any stretch. I will master it as I master my ruby skills.
The things I've modified or added:
- English Ordinal dates (e.g. May 1st, 2016, June 11th, 2017 rather than May 1, June 11... ) (requires 'facets' gem)
vendorremoved and everything smashed in toassets- Google Analytics
- Social & sharing buttons for each post (facebook, twitter, reddit, email)
- Meta tags for Open Graph
- Various configurable settings via
data/site.yml- siteurl (mostly for proper social sharing links and OG data)
- sitename (ditto)
- subtitle (just because)
- author (easier than going through the templates to replace each instance)
- google_tracking_id (comment out and it won't be included in the partial)
- twitter (footer)
- facebook (footer)
- github (footer)
Feel free to fork and modify it to suit your own site needs/improve my awful code.
