Personal Webpage/Portfolio

Hi, my name is Noah Holland-Moritz, and you've reached the github page for my website! I originally created this site as part of the requirements for my school's Engineering Honors Program. Now it serves as my personal webpage. Feel free to use my code for your own nefarious purposes, and contact me if you are having trouble setting it up and want some pointers. Below is the original readme for this website theme. Cheers!

Prologue - Jekyll Theme

This is Prologue, a simple, single page responsive site template from HTML5 UP, now available as a blog-aware Jekyll theme from Chris Bobbe. It features a clean, minimalistic design and a sticky sidebar with navigation-linked scrolling.

Demo: https://chrisbobbe.github.io/jekyll-theme-prologue/

Added Features

• Blogging and multi-page features you expect from Jekyll
• Compatible with GitHub Pages
• Formspree.io contact form integration - just add your email to the _config.yml and it works!
• Build your homepage with custom scrolly sections in the _sections folder
• Set a cover photo for any section (not just the first), with alt text for screen readers and SEO
• Add your social profiles easily in _config.yml.
• Automatic search engine optimization (SEO) meta tags based on info you provide in _config.yml and frontmatter
• Google Analytics built-in; just put your Tracking ID in _config.yml as google_analytics
• Custom 404 page (called 404.html; to activate, move it to your project directory).

Installation

There are two ways to get started (choose one):

1. Install the jekyll-theme-prologue gem. Instructions are in the Jekyll docs. After running bundle install, you can find the theme files by running open $(bundle show jekyll-theme-prologue). A sample working _config.yml file ships with the gem; if you want to activate it, move it to your project's root directory. It will do nothing until you move it there, replacing the default _config.yml file.
2. Fork or clone the GitHub repository. If you want to use GitHub Pages, create a branch named gh-pages, and replace theme: jekyll-theme-prologue with remote_theme: chrisbobbe/jekyll-theme-prologue in the provided _config.yml (GitHub Pages now supports open-source themes on GitHub).

Next, make sure that url and base_url are set for your own website in _config.yml. For local testing, make them both blank. Add a photo avatar to your project, then set avatar: path/to/your/avatar.jpg in _config.yml; for example, avatar: assets/images/avatar.jpg (48x48 pixels works best). Poke around the sample _config.yml file to see how you can add your social profiles.

Build your homepage

1. Your _config.yml file must include the following line or your homepage won't work: collections: [sections]. This tells Jekyll to look in the _sections folder (which you will create) for your content and render it all on one page.

2. Create a _sections folder in your project's root directory and start adding content to your homepage. Set a cover photo in any of the sections by adding cover-photo: path/to/photo.jpg and cover-photo-alt: your alt text here to the section's frontmatter. Sample content is provided in the GitHub repository.

All new sections should be added as html or Markdown documents in the _sections folder. The following section variables can be set with frontmatter:

• title (required)
• order (required; orders the sequence of sections on the page. Example: 1)
• cover-photo (optional; sets a background image for the section. Example: assets/images/banner.jpg)
• cover-photo-alt (required if using a cover photo. Describes the photo for screen readers and SEO; e.g. "Dome of Light art installation, Kaohsiung, Taiwan")
• icon (optional; see Font Awesome for icon codes. Example: fa-github)
• auto-header (optional; "use-title" is default, "none" for no header, or custom header text)
• hide (optional; if true, the section won't appear)

Start blogging!

Jekyll has great resources to get you started writing blog posts. Check out this Jekyll Docs page first. When you've written a post or two, copy the following into a new file in your project directory called blog.html, and you'll see a link to your blog from the homepage:

---
layout: blog
title: My Blog
---

-- and that's it!

Add a page

To add a page, just make a new .html or .md file in your project directory. There's an example called reading-list provided with the GitHub repository. Add this frontmatter:

---
title: My New Page
layout: page
---

You can also set these page variables in the frontmatter, if you want:

• subtitle
• order (orders links in the nav menu, e.g. 1)
• icon (optional; see Font Awesome for icon codes. Example: fa-github)
• hide (optional; if true, a link won't appear in the nav menu. All this does is remove the nav link; your page will still be served to anyone who has the URL.)

This same set of frontmatter variables (including title) can also be set in index.md and blog.html. You may want to give them titles, or hide the homepage link with hide: true if the homepage is the only page.

For advanced SEO, this theme also lets you add permalink (see Jekyll Docs), robots (string, e.g. "noindex, nofollow"), and canonical (boolean; true is default) to any page or post.
