Customization

If you want to customize your weblog, take a look at the templates/ directory inside your weblog. There are two different templates, post.html and index.html. In the pure-blog theme both these templates extend the base.html template. The templates are written in Jinja2.

As the name suggests, the post.html template is used to generate the HTML for individual posts. It defines 5 “blocks”:

meta

Metadata added to HTML head

title

The title of the page

css

Custom CSS used by the post

javascript

Custom Javascript used by the post

content

The actual HTML content of the post

You probably only need to change the last one.

The index.html template is used to generate the index page, as well as the paginated archives and tags pages, ie, any page that shows a list of posts. It defines the following blocks:

meta

Metadata addade to the HTML head

title

The title of the page

navigation

Elements used to paginate the archives and the tags

content

The actual HTML content of the posts

In the pure-blog theme the template shows only the summary of each post, and it shows the number of posts defined in the nefelibata.yaml file.
