Template Details

Hexoblado is a dark theme designed for the Hexo blog framework. The repository is maintained by dobladov and released under the MIT license. The theme provides RSS, custom menus, social icons and social sharing, configurable logo and favicon, and includes responsive design. It includes built-in English and Spanish language options. Installation involves cloning the theme into the Hexo site's themes directory and setting theme to hexoblado in the site's _config.yml. Theme configuration options are centralized in the theme's own _config.yml, where you can set the favicon, menu items, social links, footer text, and Google Analytics. RSS requires additionally installing the hexo-generator-feed plugin and declaring feed parameters in the site configuration. The repository README's ToDo lists two unfinished features: Open Data and Fancybox Gallery.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hexo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
