A more "advanced" starter theme, see the Jekyll Starter Theme V1 for a more "basic" version. The V2 includes:
- Shared (common) template/page building blocks using
_includese.g.head.html,header.html,footer.htmletc. - CSS preprocessing using Sass/SCSS e.g.
_settings.scsswith$link-coloretc. - Nav(igation) menu (auto-)built using a configuration / data block
- And more

Step 1: Configure the CSS Preprocessing using Sass/SCSS. Add in _config.yml:
sass:
sass_dir: css
style: expandedStep 2: Add a new css/_settings.scss partial (where you can add your global style settings) e. g.:
$font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
$link-color: navy;Step 3: Add the required front matter to css/style.scss and include (import) the settings e.g.:
---
### turn on preprocessing by starting with required front matter block
---
@import 'settings';
body {
font-family: $font-family;
}
a, a:visited {
color: $link-color;
text-decoration: none;
}
...
Use shared building blocks to split-up the all-in-one default master layout page e.g.:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
{% include head.html %}
<body>
{% include header.html %}
<div id="content">
{{ content }}
</div>
{% include footer.html %}
</body>
</html>In the new _includes folder, add the new building blocks e.g. head.html, header.html,
and footer.html.
Instead of "hard-coding" the navigation menu e.g.:
<div id="nav">
<a href="{{ '/index.html' | relative_url }}">Welcome</a>
<a href="{{ '/two.html' | relative_url }}">Page Two</a>
<a href="{{ '/three.html' | relative_url }}">Page Three</a>
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/wwwmake">Questions? Comments?</a>
<a href="https://github.com/henrythemes/jekyll-starter-theme">About</a>
</div>Let's use a configuration / data block e.g.:
nav:
- { title: 'Welcome', href: '/' }
- { title: 'Page Two', href: '/two.html' }
- { title: 'Page Three', href: '/three.html' }
- { title: 'Questions? Comments?', href: 'http://groups.google.com/group/wwwmake' }
- { title: 'About', href: 'https://github.com/henrythemes/jekyll-starter-theme-v2' }And (auto-)build the navigation menu using a macro e.g.:
<div id="nav">
{% for item in site.nav %}
<a href="{{ item.href | relative_url }}">{{ item.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
