Then update your blog's main `_config.yml` to set the theme to `clean-blog`:

```
# Extensions

## Themes: http://hexo.io/themes/
theme: clean-blog
```

## Configuration

### Menu

The menu is configured in the theme's `_config.yml`.

```
# Header
menu:
  Home: /
  Archives: /archives
  Github:
    url: https://github.com/klugjo/hexo-theme-clean-blog
    icon: github
```

The object key is the label and the value is the path, or you can use a icon (font awesome) like menu item.

### Top Left Label

The top left label is configured in the theme's `_config.yml`. When clicked it will lead to the Home Page.

```
# Title on top left of menu. Leave empty to use main blog title
menu_title: Configurable Title
```

The Home Page cover is configured in the theme's `_config.yml`. It will be the same for all index type pages.

```
# URL of the Home page image

### Default post title

```

```

### Comments

The comments provider is specified in the theme's `_config.yml`. If you specify both a `disqus_shortname` and a `facebook.appid` there will be 2 sets of comment per post. So choose one.
