About the Jekyll Theme

Reading time ~1 minute

Hmm, that doesn’t seem to be my about page, but a HPSTR theme’s one. Stay tuned, it will be fixed some day.

They say three times the charm, so here is another free responsive Jekyll blog theme for you. I’ve learned a ton since open sourcing my first two themes on Github, and wanted to try a few new things this time around.

If you’ve used any of my other themes most of this should be familiar territory…

What HPSTR brings to the table:

  • Responsive templates for post, page, and post index
