Prerequisites

In order to use this theme you must have installed hexo.
Create the root directory for the blog by initializing it with hexo:
```
$ hexo init my-blog
```
Navigate into the new directory:
```
$ cd my-blog
```

Install

In the root directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/probberechts/hexo-theme-cactus.git themes/cactus

Change the theme property in the _config.yml file.
```
# theme: landscape
theme: cactus
```
See below for more information on how to customize this theme.
Create pages and articles with the hexo new [layout] <title> command. For example, to create an "about me" page, run:
```
$ hexo new page about
```
This will create a new file in source/about/index.md Similarly, you can create a new article with
```
$ hexo new post "hello world"
```
and add some interesting content in source/_posts/hello-world.md.
Run: hexo generate and hexo server
Publish your blog!

Configuration

You can (and should) modify a couple of settings. An overview of all settings can be found in _config.yml. The most important ones are discussed below.

There are two possible methods to override the defaults. As a first option, you could fork the theme and maintain a custom branch with your settings. Alternatively, you can configure it from your site's primary configuration file. Therefore, define your custom settings under the theme_config variable. For example:

# _config.yml
theme_config:
  colorscheme: white

# themes/cactus/_config.yml
colorscheme: dark

This will override the default black colorscheme in themes/cactus/_config.yml.

Color scheme

Currently, this theme is delivered with four color schemes: dark, light, white and classic. Set your preferred color scheme in the _config.yml file.

colorscheme: light

Alternatively, you can easily create your own color scheme by creating a new file in source/css/_colors.

Navigation

Set up the navigation menu in the _config.yml:

nav:
  home: /
  about: /about/
  articles: /archives/
  projects: http://github.com/probberechts
  LINK_NAME: URL

Blog posts list on home page

You have two options for the list of blog posts on the home page:

Show only the 5 most recent posts (default)

posts_overview:
  show_all_posts: false
  post_count: 5

Show all posts
```
posts_overview:
  show_all_posts: true
```

Projects list

Create a projects file source/_data/projects.json to show a list of your projects on the index page.

[
    {
       "name":"Hexo",
       "url":"https://hexo.io/",
       "desc":"A fast, simple & powerful blog framework"
    },
    {
       "name":"Font Awesome",
       "url":"http://fontawesome.io/",
       "desc":"The iconic font and CSS toolkit"
    }
]

Social media links

Cactus can automatically add links to your social media accounts. Therefore, update the theme's _config.yml:

social_links:
  github: your-github-url
  twitter: your-twitter-url
  NAME: your-NAME-url

where NAME is the name of a Font Awesome icon.

Copyright years

By default, Cactus will use current year in your copyright year information. If there is a need to customize, please update _config.yml:

copyright:
  start_year: 2016
  end_year:

Language configuration

If you are new to Hexo and internationalization (i18n), please read Hexo documentation - internationalization (i18n) section

Currently, the theme is delivered with support for:

English (en), default
Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br)
Catalan (ca)
Chinese (Simplified, PRC) (zh-CN)
Dutch (nl)
French (fr)
Italian (it)
Persian (fa)
Russian (ru)

If you would like to use one the languages listed above, simply set language to the desired language (e.g., fr) in _config.yml. Otherwise, you can follow the steps below (E.g., to add a Japanese (ja) translation):

Set language to ja in Hexo configuration file _config.yml
Create a ja.yml file in the themes/cactus/languages/ folder
Copy the content of themes/cactus/languages/default.yml and paste it it into the ja.yml file
Replace all English strings by their Japanese translation

Note: Cactus does not support multi-language sites.

RTL support

rss: false will totally disable rss (default).
rss: atom.xml sets a specific feed link.
