    remote-theme: yree/mold
  

• See site settings to further customize the theme.

Organization 📂

• The theme operates on the WYWIWYS (wee-wee-wiz) principle.
• The README.md at the repo root acts as the index for the GitHub Page.
• To create more posts add .md files and folders to your repo.
• Link these .md files across each other (refer to this repo structure).

Pro tips 💡

Site Settings

• Customize your blog further by editing the _config.yml file.
• Adjust the blog’s name, author, theme appearance, date formatting, and more.
• The file includes comments to guide you through each customizable field.

Dark Mode for Images

• The theme’s dark mode is achieved through CSS invert() function.
• Images aren’t inverted by default to maintain expected appearance.
• Apply class="ioda" to specific images to force color inversion.

Development 📦

• Run bundle install to set up your environment.
• Start the server with bundle exec jekyll serve.
• Modify your theme and content as needed, preview your theme at http://localhost:4000.
• Only specific files and directories are bundled. Adjust mold.gemspec to include custom directories if necessary.
