## lanyon-plus
### Based on Jekyll theme: [Lanyon](http://lanyon.getpoole.com) by [Mark Otto](https://github.com/mdo)
* add-ons by [Samir B. Amin](https://sbamin.com)
* License: Open sourced under the [MIT license](LICENSE.md).
### Required edits:
#### _config.yml
* Edit lines where text string `foo` is present with relevant information.
* Add relevant author and owner information
* For proper sidebar, meta info below post title, and footer bar, add at least twitter, google plus info under `owner` and `sidebar` section.
* Uncomment and add relevant user names/keys to enable features, e.g., google analytics, disqus comments, twitter widget, google custom search.
#### CNAME
* Read [Using a custom domain with GitHub Pages](https://help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/) for set-up details.
* If you are hosting website on domain other than `github.io`, rename `CNAME.sample` file to `CNAME`, and add your custom domain name, e.g., `example.com` (only one domain is allowed), otherwise remove `CNAME` file if you want to host at default `github.io`.
* If you are hosting website on `github.io`, replace `example.com` with `https://<github-username>.github.io/<repository_name>` (for project site) or `https://<github-username>.github.io` (for user site) under `site.url` and `site.urlimg` in `_config.yml` and `_prose.yml` file.
#### .travis.yml
* See more at [https://travis-ci.org/getting_started](https://travis-ci.org/getting_started)
#### _prose.yml
* [https://github.com/prose/prose/wiki/Getting-Started](https://github.com/prose/prose/wiki/Getting-Started)
* Edit `example.com` with your domain name.
* You may edit names for custom categories.
#### robots.txt
* replace `example.com` with your valid url.
* Edit search engine inclusion/exclusion if desired.
#### page specific edits
* `_data/socialmedia.html`
* Replace user `foo` with appropriate username
* `_includes/`
* Check if file paths for appropriate urls have valid css files, scripts, icons, and images in `head.html` and `head_minimal.html`, else comment html tags which are not being used.
* Also, check if variables (twitter, google plus, linkedin, google analytics key and disqus username, etc.) are specified in `_config.yml` located under root path.
* You may edit `meta_info.html`, `footer.html` and similar include files to add/remove elements in page meta bar, footer, etc.
* For publications page, `mypubs.html` and `myaoi.html` are trimmed outputs from [zot_bib_web](https://github.com/davidswelt/zot_bib_web). Github pages can not dynamically build these pages. Alternately, you may export `bib` format for publications under `/files/` directory which can be parsed dynamically using [bibbase.org](http://bibbase.org)
* `_includes/footer.html`: Edit copyright information as needed.
* `_layouts`
* To add/remove/reorder page/post contents, edit `default.html` plus `page.html` or `post.html`.
* `_posts`
* Live blog posts goes here with markdown formatted post. File name format must have following date-title format `yyyy-mm-dd-title.md` for jekyll to render blog post correctly.
* YAML sample header shows all available options. Minimal required elements are: layout, title and date. Date tag overrides date given in post file name.
* `blog/index.html`
* Edit blog title and description.
* `images/`
* Under `icons` directory, keep appropriate sized favicons and thumbnails as specified in `_includes/head.html` and `_includes/head_minimal.html`
* Also, keep `favicon.png` and `favicon.ico` in root directory.
* Final, `images/icons/` should have following images with exact filenames and image size as specified in respective filenames. These images can be generated using online *favicon generator*. Replace `foo` with your site title or other name if desired.
