🔎 Project Overview

Medusa is a jekyll theme used for static sites. This is a child theme of Mundana - that looks similar to Medium. I remixed the Mundana Jekyll theme originally developed by WowThemes.net and created a child theme based on that.

• About Page: Added a new page called about.html in this theme. Where a profile page appears. This amazing blog theme is now a minimalized portfolio theme.

• New Fonts Added: Added ‘Merriweather’ font for post content and ‘Lexend Deca’ for post title. Improves readibility. Hind Siliguri by Google Fonts has been added to this theme for supporting posts written in Bengali. In order to use the font, add lang: bn line to the top of markdown file of the post.

• Elegant Homepage: Made some changes to the homepage of the previous Mundana Theme. It looks better now comparing to the previous one.

• Removed Unnecessary Fat: Previously, it was more optimized for agency or online magazine. But now it can be used as a personal blog. Multiple author page has been deleted. Also comments has been deleted. Now, custom comment plugin can be used. Wish to introduce it next.
