Template Details
blade-theme is a Jekyll blog theme published on GitHub, with the repository described as "A simple Jekyll blog theme" and released under the MIT license. The theme targets personal blogs built with Jekyll, and the README lists features including a responsive layout, SASS preprocessing, syntax highlighting, author configuration, pagination, a search bar, Disqus comments, post sharing, and sitemap and SEO tags.
Before use, Ruby and RubyGems must be installed locally. The README's getting-started steps are: clone the repository, enter the directory, run bundle install to install dependencies, run jekyll serve to start the local server, then visit localhost:4000 to view it. The theme is also published on RubyGems and offers an online demo and a zip download.
The repository was last updated in 2019; the materials do not state its compatibility with current Jekyll versions, nor do they provide detailed documentation of theme configuration options. The licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately and cannot be determined solely from the code's MIT license.

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 Jekyll 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.
