Jekyll HMFAYSAL is a minimal, bold, responsive theme for your Jekyll powered blog. This theme powers Hossain Mohd Faysal's blog http://www.theevilgenius.tk/. It is based on Minimal Mistakes Theme -- by designer slash illustrator Michael Rose.
The theme features:
- A bold look, perfect for bloggers.

- Responsive layout. Looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
- Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 9+ and all modern browsers.
- Minimal embellishments and subtle animations.
- Readable typography to make your words shine. (Uses Electrolize and Abel from Adobe Edgefont)
- Support for large images to call out your favorite posts.
- Disqus comments if you choose to enable.
- Simple and clear permalink structure.
- Calculation of post read-time based on word count.
- Tags for Open Graph and Twitter Cards for a better social sharing experience.
- Vanilla custom 404 page to get you started.
- Stylesheets for Pygments, Coderay and Highlight.Js to make your code examples look snazzy.
- Simple search that overlays results based on post title.
- Grunt build script for easier theme development.
- Sitemap for search engines
- Install Jekyll and read through the documentation if you haven't already.
- Fork the Jekyll HMFAYSAL Theme

_config.yml
to personalize your site. - Check out the sample posts in
_posts
to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data. - Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
Pro-tip: Delete the gh-pages
branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off master
. There is a bunch of garbage in gh-pages
used for the theme's demo site that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.
