Francesco Gallarotti

I'm just another software engineer from Italy. I studied/worked/lived in New York state since 2000 to 2011, when I moved back to Italy. I love my wife, my three English Cocker Spaniels, landscape and portrait photography and simmering spicy curries. I have started learning Japanese numerous times.

About the Theme

Jekyll is pretty rad and figured releasing a cleaned up version of my site[^1] as a theme for others to hack and build on would be fun. So here be that theme --- I call it Minimal Mistakes, a responsive Jekyll theme with large featured images and solid typography.

Minimal Mistakes is all about:

  • Responsive templates. Looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
  • Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 8+ and all modern browsers.
  • Minimal embellishments --- content first.
  • Large feature images for posts and pages.
  • Author sidebar to pimp your bio, photo[^2], and social media links.
  • Simple and clear permalink structure (ie: domain.com/category/post-title)
