A Material for Mkdocs Blog Template

The purpose of the template in this repository is to give you a starting point for setting up a blog that makes use of features that Material for MkDocs provides and of selected integrations with other plugins that are of specific relevance to running a blog.

It reflects the results you get by going through the blog tutorials in the documentation.

Requirements

The to use the all the features this template uses, you need the Insiders Edition of Material for MkDocs but it should be easy enough to strip it down so that it works with the public version.

You will also need to install the mkdocs-rss-plugin.

Using it

This the repository is a template repository, so you can create as many forks of it as you like and your repository will contain only a single commit to start with, instead of the whole history of the template. Also, you can create a private repository from this template (while forks inherit the visibility settings from the original).

Simply hit the Use this template button. You can set the specifics of your new repository from there.

Project layout

The following shows the layout of the files in this template. Note that you can configure Material for MkDocs to use a different layout, this is simply the default.
