googleAnalytics = "Your Google Analytics tracking code"

[params]
  Keywords = "key, 关键字, キーワード"

  Avatar = "img/avatar.jpg"
  SelfIntro = "Just a worm, seek for true, live in shadow, no more..."

  GithubID = "Your Github ID"
  TwitterID = "Your Twitter ID"
  FacebookID = "Your Facebook ID"
  LinkedInID = "Your LinkedIn ID"

If you use config.yaml, plz reformat them to yaml.

Enable Disqus to your post

1. Add your Disqus Shortname to the site config file;
2. You can enable Disqus per-post, by adding comments: true (YAML) or comments = true (TOML) in the front matter of your post. To disable it, you can either change the value to false or just not include comments variable and its value at all.

Enable TOC to your post

If you need show table of contents per-post, adding toc: true (YAML) or toc = true (TOML) in the front matter of your post.

Please notice that TOC will be hidden when browser width is less than 920px.

Enable Formspree to your page

If you need a form which allows guests to contact you by email, Formspree maybe a good choice.
