Simple blog is a clean and minimal blog theme for Lume, with support for tags and authors. It allows you to build your own blog in seconds, and provides Atom and JSON feeds for your subscribers.

The fastest and easiest way to configure this theme is the Lume init command, which you can also copy easily from the Simple Blog theme page. Running:

deno run -A https://lume.land/init.ts --theme=simple-blog

will create a new project with Simple Blog configured. Edit the _data.yml file in your blog root folder with your data to customize the site title, description, and metadata.

Posts must be saved in the posts folder. For example, posts/my-first-posts.md.

Install as a remote theme

To add the theme to an existing Lume project, import it in your _config.ts file as a remote module. Update it by changing the version number in the import URL:

import lume from "lume/mod.ts";
import blog from "https://deno.land/x/lume_theme_simple_blog@v0.15.6/mod.ts";

const site = lume();

site.use(blog());

export default site;

Copy the _data.yml file to your blog root folder and edit it with your data.

Customization

Tip

You can use lumeCMS to customize the blog and add content easily
