Customize

This page intentionally uses the optional sidebar so you can see the on/off behavior in the same theme.

What you can remove cleanly #

• The marquee strip in base.njk if you want a calmer header.
• The palette picker if you would rather ship with a single brand direction.
• The example pages and sample posts once you replace them with your own content.
• The home page side panels if you want a more minimal front page.

What you can add next #

• A blogroll, bookmark feed, or notes stream.
• Webmentions and reply contexts.
• A guestbook or contact page with a more explicit IndieWeb flavor.
• Additional palettes if you want seasonal or project-specific variants.

Pages now default to full width #

The page.njk layout no longer reserves empty sidebar space. It only creates a second column when you provide sidebar content in front matter.

Posts keep the author context with the article #

The about-the-author block now sits at the bottom of the post panel instead of living in the global footer, which makes the article feel more self-contained.

Suggested first edits #

1. Replace the placeholder identity and production URL settings in site.js.
2. Decide which home page panels actually belong to your site.
3. Pick one palette as the default and adjust the others until they feel intentionally different.
