BiosVision

Vision is a clean, modern blog theme designed to put the focus on both your content and identity. It features a large sidebar photo to showcase your identity and then gets out of the way.

The development of this theme is only possible thanks to community support. If this and similar projects are important to you, please support it's continued development: https://gum.co/biosvision

This is of course a theme for Ghost.

Getting Started

First you need to download the theme. I currently recommend against getting it directly from GitHub as I'm still working on a better compiling process. Until then, you can get it pay-what-you-want from the BiosVision Website.

Key Configuration Options

  • About & Contact Pages: Ghost does not yet offer official support for pages however you can add a post and set the post date in the past to 'hide' it. Then you can simply add the links to your sidebar in the BiosVision/partials/sidebar.hbs file.
  • Author Profile: You will want to fill this in along with a photo as it is displayed in the footer of each post. 100x100 works well for the photo.
  • Disqus Comments: You will need to input your disqus_shortname and disqus_url to enable disqus. If you wish to disable it, simply remove the <section class="comments"> tags & everything between.
  • Photo: The sidebar photo is set by changing your blog logo. The example image is 360x538 however you can use different sizes if needed.
  • Social Links: You can edit these by modifying the BiosVision/partials/sidebar.hbs file. There are also other icons in the Font Awesome Font you can use.

Important Note: You typically will have to restart Ghost to see theme changes take effect.

Support

If you have issues/suggestions for the theme you can send an email to contact@ghostcloak.com or visit the Theme Website.

Building the Theme

Before beginning, You will need to have Node and NPM installed.

First, navigate to the theme directory and run the following commands via your terminal.

npm install
npm build-css

From here, you'll have the compiled CSS for your site.
