Today's web is a frustrating mess of pop-ups, intrusive banners, and ads obstructing the content. I designed Aether to be the style of website I want to visit on the web. The result is a theme that makes sites feels more like a native application than a website. Interactions are intuitive, content is the focus, and distractions are omitted. Aether is a Hugo theme for blogs that elevates good writing and photography. If you use Hugo for your blog, give Aether a try.

|
|
## Installation
|
|
In your Hugo project's theme directory, clone the Aether repo.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/josephhutch/aether.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the following parameters in your config file if they are not present already.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
baseURL = "https://yourwebsitenamegoeshere.com/"
|
|
languageCode = "Your language code"
|
|
title = "Your Website Title"
|
|
theme = "aether"
|
|
|
|
[params]
|
|
brand = "The title you would like to show in the nav bar"
|
|
description = "Your website's description."
|
|
homeimg = "url to the image used for the home button"
|
|
bgimg = "url to the image used for the background"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You're all set! Once your begin writing posts, they will display using the Aether theme.
