Template Details

hexo-theme-easy is a theme for Hexo static blogs. In the README, the author states that it references the aero-dual theme and builds on it by integrating other custom content, with the goal of helping users quickly set up a blog. The theme provides configuration options through _config.yml in the theme directory, covering modules such as menus, homepage cover images, automatic excerpts, post metadata, comments, footer, visit statistics, and analytics.

In terms of functionality, the comment system supports six drivers: Disqus, Gitalk, Gitment, Hypercomments, UYan, and Valine, from which one can be enabled. Statistics and analytics support Google, Baidu, Sogou, and CNZZ. Post pages support cover images and syntax highlighting for code blocks. The footer allows customization of the start year, icons, and copyright information. Menu items support plain text or Font Awesome icons. PV statistics rely on busuanzi. Post word count and reading time display depend on the hexo-wordcount plugin, which must be installed separately.

Installation involves cloning the repository into the themes/easy directory of a Hexo site and setting theme to easy in the main configuration file. The README notes that the Hexo version must be no lower than 3.2. The repository was last updated in 2019, making it an older theme project; before use, it is advisable to check compatibility with the current Hexo version.
