Jekyll is pretty rad and figured releasing a cleaned up version of [my site](http://mademistakes.com)[^1] 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, photo[^2], and social media links.
|
|
* Simple and clear permalink structure *(ie: domain.com/category/post-title)*
|
|
|

[^1]: Since open sourcing this theme I have released a couple other Jekyll themes. My website [Made Mistakes](http://mademistakes.com) is currently using a modified version of my [So Simple Theme](http://mmistakes.github.io/so-simple-theme/).
