Template Details
Reked is a Jekyll blog theme released by artemsheludko, positioned as minimal and responsive, emphasizing the content itself and a clean page structure. The theme provides desktop and mobile adaptations; the README states it is optimized for mobile devices and uses HTML5 code.
In terms of features, the theme includes built-in post sharing, image zooming, a MailChimp form component, Disqus comments, and Google Analytics integration. Icons use Ionicons, and fonts come from Google Fonts. Posts are placed as Markdown files in the _posts directory, with front matter for setting title, date, image, and tags; post images go in the /images/ directory.
Configuration is centralized in _config.yml: enter the Disqus shortname to enable comments, enter the Google Analytics identifier to enable analytics, and replace favicon.ico in the root directory to update the favicon. To run locally, first run bundle install to install dependencies, then start the service with jekyll serve or bundle exec jekyll serve. The theme can also be imported into Stackbit and deployed to Netlify, connecting to headless CMSs such as Forestry, NetlifyCMS, DatoCMS, Sanity, or Contentful.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT License, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses; external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

### Posts
To create a new post, you can create a new markdown file inside the \_posts directory by following the [recommended file structure](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#creating-post-files).
---
layout: post
title: "Welcome to Jekyll!"
date: 2018-08-23 16:04:00 +0300
image: 03.jpg
tags: Jekyll
---
You can set the tags and the post image.
Add post images to **/images/** directory.
For tags, try to not add space between two words, for example, `Ruby on Rails`, could be something like (`ruby-on-rails`, `Ruby_on_Rails`, or `Ruby-on-Rails`).
* * *
### Disqus Comments
Reked Theme comes with Disqus comments enabled.
Open `_config.yml` file, and change the `mr-brown` value on line 30 with your [Disqus account shortname](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466208).
Comment Section (Disqus)
disqus-identifier: mr-brown # Add your shortname for Disqus Comment. For example mr-brown
That’s all you need to setup Disqus from the theme side. If you get any issue regarding that comments are unable to load. First, make sure you have [registered your website with Disqus (Step 1)](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466182-publisher-quick-start-guide).
And also check [Disqus troubleshooting guide](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472007-i-m-receiving-the-message-%22we-were-unable-to-load-disqus-%22) if you still have issues.

To integrate Google Analytics, open `_config.yml`, and add your Google Analytics identifier.
# Google Analytics
