This theme is an Hexo implementation of Clean Blog

Features

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/klugjo/hexo-theme-clean-blog.git themes/clean-blog

Then update your blog’s main _config.yml to set the theme to clean-blog:

# Extensions
## Plugins: http://hexo.io/plugins/
## Themes: http://hexo.io/themes/
theme: clean-blog

Configuration

The menu is configured in the theme’s _config.yml.

# Header
menu:
Home: /
Archives: /archives

The object key is the label and the value is the path.

Top Left Label

The top left label is configured in the theme’s _config.yml. When clicked it will lead to the Home Page.

# Title on top left of menu. Leave empty to use main blog title
menu_title: Configurable Title

Home Page cover image

The Home Page cover is configured in the theme’s _config.yml. It will be the same for all index type pages.

# URL of the Home page image
index_cover: /img/home-bg.jpg

Default post title

The default post title (used when no title is specified) is configured in the theme’s _config.yml.

# Default post title
default_post_title: Untitled

Comments

The comments provider is specified in the theme’s _config.yml. If you specify both a disqus_shortname and a facebook.appid there will be 2 sets of comment per post. So choose one.

By default, posts will use the home page cover image. You can specify a custom cover in the front-matter:

Creator

This theme was created by Blackrock Digital and adapted for Hexo by myself.

Hope you enjoy it, the theme should be easy enough to customize and modify to fit your needs. Checkout my tutorial on building Hexo themes if you need information on how themes are built.
