# Blowdit A clean, minimal theme for [Bludit](https://www.bludit.com) inspired by the [Blowfish](https://blowfish.page/) Hugo theme. ![Bludit](https://img.shields.io/badge/Bludit-3.9+-informational) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green) ## Features - πŸŒ— **Light / dark mode toggle** β€” remembers the visitor's choice and falls back to the OS preference. - 🧱 **Monochrome design** β€” restrained grayscale palette with crisp typography (Inter). - πŸ‘€ **Profile hero** β€” circular avatar, site title, slogan and social links on the homepage. - πŸ“š **Right sidebar** β€” drop any Bludit sidebar plugin into it (categories, tags, search…). - ⏱️ **Reading time & dates** shown on the post list and single posts. - πŸ”— **Social icons** in the navbar and hero, using SVG files in `img/` (GitHub, Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and more). - 🏷️ **Tags & categories** rendered as pill badges. - πŸ“± Fully responsive, no flash of the wrong theme on load. ## Installation 1. Download or clone this repository into your Bludit `bl-themes` directory: ``` /usr/share/nginx/html/bl-themes/ ``` 2. In the Bludit admin panel go to **Settings β†’ Themes** and activate **Blowdit**. 3. Add your assets to `blowdit/img/`: - The social-network SVG icons (`github.svg`, `mastodon.svg`, …) named after each Bludit social-network key. - Your avatar as `spleenftw.jpeg` β€” used for the homepage profile hero **and** the favicon. To use a different filename, change it in [php/head.php](php/head.php) (favicon) and [php/home.php](php/home.php) (`$profileImage`). ## Layout ``` blowdit/ β”œβ”€β”€ index.php Main template β”œβ”€β”€ metadata.json Theme metadata β”œβ”€β”€ css/ β”‚ └── style.css Light & dark styles (CSS custom properties) β”œβ”€β”€ php/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ head.php , fonts, favicon, anti-FOUC theme script β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ navbar.php Navbar, social SVG icons, theme toggle β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ home.php Profile hero + post listing β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ page.php Single page / post β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ sidebar.php Sidebar plugin container β”‚ └── footer.php Footer β”œβ”€β”€ img/ Social SVG icons + avatar (spleenftw.jpeg) └── languages/ Translations ``` ## Dark mode The colour scheme is driven by CSS custom properties. Light mode lives in `:root`; dark mode overrides them under `[data-theme="dark"]`. The attribute is set on `` before paint (in `php/head.php`) to avoid a flash, and the toggle button in the navbar persists the choice to `localStorage`. To tweak the palette, edit the variables at the top of [css/style.css](css/style.css). ## License [MIT](LICENSE)
