A work-in-progress theme for my personal websites that emphasize visual aspects such as posts, and portfolio sections above more corporate-centric websites that emphasize text content, and navigation.
The primary usage case for this theme is in conjunction with GitHub Pages and will align with the documentation for GitHub pages.
This theme aims to incorporate aspects of accessibility, and SEO while still remaining visually appealing and minimalistic.
Based upon the Jasper themes re-developed for Jekyll, originally the default themes for the Ghost CMS created by John Nolan.

Important: For security reasons, Github does not allow plugins (under _plugins/) when deploying with Github Pages. This means:
1) that we need to generate your site locally (more details below) and push the resulting HTML to a Github repository;
2) built the site with travis-ci (with goodies from jekyll-travis) automatically pushing the generated _site/ files to your gh-pages branch. This later approach is the one I am currently using to generate the live demo.
For option 1) simply clone this repository (master branch), and then run bundle exec jekyll serve inside the directory. Upload the resulting _site/ contents to your repository (master branch if uploading as your personal page (username.github.io) or gh-pages branch if uploading as a project page (as for the demo).
For option 2) you will need to set up travis-ci for your personal fork. Briefly all you need then is to change your details in _config.yml so that you can push to your github repo. You will also need to generate a secure key to add to your .travis.yml (you can find more info on how to do it in that file). Also make sure you read the documentation from jekyll-travis. This approach has clear advantages in that you simply push changes to your files and all the html files are generated for you. Also you get to know if everything is still fine with your site builds. Don't hesitate to contact me if you still have any issues (see below about issue tracking).
This install builds well with Ruby v2.4.2 and Jekyll v3.7.4. If you run into any problems please log them on the issue tracker.
Feel free pull-request your patches and fixes.
