Template Details
This project converts StartBootstrap's SB Admin 2 admin theme for Bootstrap 4 into a Jekyll site. The author adapted the theme for Jekyll: charts are generated from data, and the main content supports posts. The repository includes both the original StartBootstrap Admin 2 license file (BLACKROCK-LICENSE) and the project's own MIT license, indicating it is a secondary customization built on the original theme.
For local preview, run jekyll serve or bundle exec jekyll serve in the repository root, then visit http://localhost:4000. If issues occur, delete the _site directory, run bundle update, and restart the server. The repository was last updated in 2019, making it an older project.

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.
