![Main page preview](https://github.com/artemsheludko/derrick/blob/master/assets/img/derrick-preview.jpg?raw=true)

* * *

### Deployment

To run the theme locally, navigate to the theme directory and run `bundle install` to install the dependencies, then run `jekyll serve` or `bundle exec jekyll serve` to start the Jekyll server.

I would recommend checking the [Deployment Methods](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/deployment-methods/) page on Jekyll website.

* * *

### Posts

To create a new post, you can create a new markdown file inside the \_posts directory by following the [recommended file structure](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#creating-post-files).

      ---

      layout: post

      title: "Welcome to Jekyll!"

      date: 2018-05-29 18:05:55 +0300

      image: '/assets/img/03.jpg'

      tags: Life

      ---

You can set the tags and the post image.

Add post images to **/assets/img/** directory.

For tags, try to not add space between two words, for example, `Ruby on Rails`, could be something like (`ruby-on-rails`, `Ruby_on_Rails`, or `Ruby-on-Rails`).

* * *

### Disqus Comments

Derrick Theme comes with Disqus comments enabled.

Open `_config.yml` file, and change the `mr-brown` value on line 28 with your [Disqus account shortname](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466208).

      Comment Section (Disqus)

      disqus-identifier: mr-brown # Add your shortname for Disqus Comment. For example mr-brown

That’s all you need to setup Disqus from the theme side. If you get any issue regarding that comments are unable to load. First, make sure you have [registered your website with Disqus (Step 1)](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466182-publisher-quick-start-guide).

And also check [Disqus troubleshooting guide](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472007-i-m-receiving-the-message-%22we-were-unable-to-load-disqus-%22) if you still have issues.

* * *

### Google Analytics

To integrate Google Analytics, open `_config.yml`, and add your Google Analytics identifier.

    # Google Analytics

    google-analytics: # Add your identifier. For example UA-99631805-1

* * *

### Update favicon

You can find the current favicon (favicon.ico) inside the theme root directory, just replace it with your new favicon.
