# jekyll-theme-superb

This is a simple Jekyll theme that uses [tailwindCSS's-based ui-kit](https://github.com/simplysuperb-dev/ui-kit) of simply**superb**. My blog uses it currently, so you can see it live at: https://blog.simplysuperb.app/. Additionally, here's a screenshot*:

  _\* Article titles were copied from [dev.to](dev.to)'s homepage at the time of designing of this template._

## Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`:

```ruby
gem "jekyll-theme-superb"
```

And add this line to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml`:

```yaml
theme: jekyll-theme-superb
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install jekyll-theme-superb

## Usage

Theme has a `post` layout used for displaying a single post, an `index` layout used for displaying all posts and a page layout that differs slightly from the `post` layout.

Additional to other config options already present in jekyll itself, this theme also has:
