- I have only tested this repository on Ubuntu 16.04. If everything doesn't work smoothly,

you'll probably have to look it up.

## About

This is a simple template for creating a Science and Technology Blog.

The code base is inspired from [Emerald repository](https://github.com/KingFelix/emerald).

The template contain following features:

### Jekyll-based website

- This code-base is meant to host on [github pages](https://pages.github.com/).

- Github pages uses [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) that can convert your

markdown pages into beautiful looking blog pages without needing to

write cumbersome HTML code.

- Once you set up the site, blogging becomes as fast as using any online service

such as Wordpress, Blogger, etc.

### Free website publishing with Github-pages

- Since Github public repositories are free, you do not need to pay a cent to

anyone for publishing your blog.

### Commenting with Disqus

- The template has included Disqus comments. So, if enabled, your readers can

comment on any of your posts.

- This also makes sharing your writings on social platforms easy.

- Disqus basic account is for free and avails you with most of its features.

### Latex rendering

website is MathJax enabled. You can simply type your math equations in

Latex format.

### Code
