Jekyll is pretty rad and figured releasing a cleaned up version of my site¹ as a theme for others to hack and build on would be fun. So here be that theme --- I call it Minimal Mistakes, a responsive Jekyll theme with large featured images and solid typography.

Minimal Mistakes is all about:

• Responsive templates. Looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 8+ and all modern browsers.
• Minimal embellishments --- content first.
• Large feature images for posts and pages.
• Author sidebar to pimp your bio, photo², and social media links.
• Simple and clear permalink structure (ie: domain.com/category/post-title)
