A tumblelog theme for Hugo.
This is very alpha so don't expect anything to be clean, tidy or even work.
Content types currently supported:
- aside
- image
- quote
- post
- video
This theme relies heavily on its own archetypes to generate the different content types. Your local archetypes in /archetypes will override the theme archetypes in /themes/tumble/archetypes so move or delete your local /archetypes/default.md.
From the root of your Hugo site:
$ git clone https://github.com/adrianshort/tumble.git themes/tumble
Enable the theme in your config.toml file:
theme = "tumble"
If you want the root of your tumblelog in https://example.org/deep/nested/folder/ rather than https://example.org/ it should mostly work although image relative URLs in posts might not work right. This needs tidying up so that relativeURLs = true in your config.toml is respected properly. Leave that set to false for now.
All content types except post are set to draft: false for immediate publication.
All content types have a common set of tags, which is the only taxonomy supported.
An aside is a short piece of text, typically one or two sentences. Asides don't have titles so it's easiest just to number them sequentially.
$ hugo new asides/1.md
A single image with an optional caption (the title) and body text.
# hugo new images/my-image-title.md
Then copy the image file itself to /static/images/ and update image in the front matter if required.
Set show_title: true to display the title as a caption beneath the image.
A traditional blog post with mandatory title and body text.
$ hugo new posts/my-post-title.md
Use the image field in the front matter to set the featured image for your post. This currently is only shown in the OpenGraph metadata, not on your site itself. If you want an image to show in the list views on your site, put it at the top of your post.
A quotation usually by someone else, with attribution to the author and optionally to the work and year.
$ hugo new quotes/shakespeare-hamlet.md
An embedded video from YouTube, Vimeo etc. This is currently quite clunky as you have to get the full embed URL from the video hosting site.
So for this video, do:
$ hugo new videos/grimes-vanessa.md
Then set the frontmatter:
embed_url: https://www.youtube.com/embed/2-aWEYezEMk
