Template Details

sciblog is a Jekyll blog theme created by Air Raya, with the repository at yourfreebies/sciblog and a demo site published on GitHub Pages. The theme is positioned for blog use. The README states that it uses free resources such as Bootstrap, Jekyll, and startboostrap, and credits noisetexturegenerator and the yellow blue theme as sources of inspiration.

For installation, the README uses the Windows Command Prompt as an example, providing a complete workflow from installing Ruby (with the option to add Ruby executables to your PATH), running gem install jekyll, creating a site with jekyll new, to previewing locally with jekyll serve. It also supports downloading the repository zip, extracting it, and copying the contents into the blog directory, plus additionally installing the jekyll-paginate plugin.

Regarding licensing, the theme code is released under MIT, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. However, third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs. The README does not list specific dependency versions or describe production environment performance.

License & source material

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • The code of this version may be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed for free.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • The theme as a whole is released under the MIT license, but the README explicitly reserves an exception 'unless otherwise stated', meaning some bundled resources may not be covered by MIT and must be checked separately.
  • The README credits third-party free resources such as Bootstrap, Jekyll, startboostrap, noisetexturegenerator, and the yellow blue theme; these assets are each subject to their original licenses and are not all licensed by this project's MIT.
  • Using this theme requires additionally installing the jekyll-paginate plugin, which is an external dependency that you must obtain yourself and comply with its license.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses; they cannot be judged solely by 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.
