Configurations
Priam theme comes with different customizations the _data/settings.yml
and _config.yml

Installing Ruby & Jekyll
If this is your first time using Jekyll, please follow the Jekyll docs and make sure your local environment (including Ruby) is setup correctly.
Deployment
To run the theme locally, navigate to the theme directory and run bundle install
to install the dependencies, then run bundle exec jekyll serve
to start the Jekyll server.
I would recommend checking the Deployment Methods page on Jekyll website.

To have wide images in posts or pages simply add #wide
word with the hashtag at the end of image path like in the example below:

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

).

Disqus Comments
Priam Theme comes with Disqus comments enabled.
Open settings.yml
file, and change the anvod-studio-test

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).
And also check Disqus troubleshooting guide if you still have issues.
Google Analytics
To integrate Google Analytics, open settings.yml
, and add your Google Analytics identifier.

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