Customization

For details on how to customize the layout, style and configurations head to Jekyll documentation, it has detailed information about everything you might need.

So far 8bit theme specific customizations are only available through entries in _config.yml.

Custom logo

Set logo entry in _config.yml. It accepts an image path like assets/img/logo.png or one of the available Nintendo characters provided by NES.css: nes-mario, nes-ash, nes-pokeball, nes-bulbasaur, nes-charmander, nes-squirtle, nes-kirby.

PS.: Nintendo owns the copyright of these characters. Please comply with the Nintendo guidelines and laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

Showing download buttons

If you’re publishing on GitHub Pages for a project you can enable the download buttons by just setting show_downloads: true in _config.yml.

Social networks

You can show links for accounts you have on some of the most popular social networks. See the example below with the complete list of available networks.

Comments

Comments feature is provided by an integration between Jekyll and Disqus, so if you want to have a comments section below each post you will need a Disqus account.

If you already have an account all you need to do is add the following entries to your _config.yml:

disqus:
  shortname: your-sites-shortname

In case you still don't have an account take a look at Disqus' page for details on how to create and configure an account.

Comments are enabled by default but if you want to disable them for one particular post you can by just adding comments: false to the post's YAML Front Matter.
