Selecting A Jekyll Theme
29 Nov 2024Themes that I looked at with my working notes.
Hydejack
Current as of Nov 2024.
Hydejack is my current theme (as of Nov 2024). It looks nice, but
- It has too many bells & whistles - yes, taste changes over time
- I got fed up with the entry page that I have to slide left
Hyde
Being stdied - Hottest candidate
Lanyon
Being studied - Hot candidate
Minimal Theme
Being studied
Cayman
Being studied
Poole
Rejected because I understodd that it’s just a base theme. Hyde and Lanyon are based on it.
Celeste
Being studied
Minimal Mistakes
Being studied
Mediumish
Being studied - probably too fancy
al-folio
Rejected b/o too complex.
al-folio looks good - with the picture of Einstein. It looks far less attractive with my face, it has too many areas I don’t need. I played around with it (i.e. created a little personalized demo), and it feels complex.
