void-jekyll-theme

void-jekyll-theme is a theme, for Jekyll. It's pretty much empty of all color. void-jekyll-theme uses Skeleton and Font Awesome.

It's based on void for Pelican.

Since I'm reworking an existing project to use Jekyll, the configuration variables are not set in stone.

You can see a live example of the project it's based on here
