## Extras
+### Bootswatch and other Bootstrap 3 themes
+
+Part of the versatility of this theme comes from the fact that I included all the lovely Bootstrap 3 themes from [Bootswatch](http://bootswatch.com/), built by [Thomas Park](https://github.com/thomaspark). You can tell Pelican what Bootswatch theme to use, by setting `BOOTSTRAP_THEME` to the desired theme, in lowercase (ie. 'readable' or 'cosmo' etc.). My own site is using _Readable_. If you want to use any other Bootstrap 3 compatible theme, just put the minified CSS in the `static/css` directory and rename it using the following naming scheme: `bootstrap.{theme-name}.min.css`. Then update the `BOOTSTRAP_THEME` variable with the _theme-name_ used.
+
+#### Update: Readable has seen some major changes. I added the new version as 'readable' and renamed the old version to 'readable-old'. Update your config accordingly.
+
+### Article info
+
+Set `SHOW_ARTICLE_AUTHOR` to True to show the author of the article at the top of the article and in the index of articles. Set `SHOW_ARTICLE_CATEGORY` to show the Category of each article.

### Custom CSS

### Site Brand
You can provide a logo for your site using `SITELOGO`. For example: `SITELOGO = 'images/my_site_logo.png'`. You can then define the size of the logo using `SITELOGO_SIZE`. The `width` of the `<img>` element will be set accordingly.

+This theme supports including IPython notebooks through the [Liquid Tags plugin](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/liquid_tags). If you enable the plugin, the theme will automatically include the right CSS/JS to make the notebooks work.

### Favicon
Set the `FAVICON` option in your `pelicanconf.py`. For example: `FAVICON = 'images/favicon.png'`
+### Index page
+
+* If `DISPLAY_ARTICLE_INFO_ON_INDEX` is set to _True_, article info (date, tags) will be show under the title for each article, otherwise only title and summary will be shown (default).
+
+### Short menu labels for pages
+
+By default, the title of a page is used both for showing the title as
+part of a page's content, and, if pages in menu is enabled, as the
+label of the corresponding menu item. You can choose a different label
+for the menu (such as a short single word) than the page title by adding a
+Menulabel metadata attribute to the page header (`Menulabel:` in
+markdown, `:Menulabel:` in rst).
+
+### About Me
+
+You can show a short blurb of text about yourself and a picture. The following two settings are used for this:
+
+* Your 'About Me' paragraph will be whatever the `ABOUT_ME` variable is set to (raw html is allowed)
+* Your avatar can be set by pointing the `AVATAR` variable to the relevant picture (e.g. 'images/profile.png')

You can disable them by setting `USE_OPEN_GRAPH` to _False_. You can use `OPEN_GRAPH_FB_APP_ID` to provide a Facebook _app id_.
+You can also provide a default image that will be passed as an Open Graph tag by setting `OPEN_GRAPH_IMAGE` to a relative file path, which will be prefixed by your site's base url. Optionally, you can override this default image on a per article and per page basis, by setting the `og_image` variable in an article or page.

+### Twitter Cards
+
+The theme supports [Summary Twitter Cards](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/types/summary-card). To activate the necessary tags set `TWITTER_CARDS` to `True`. Because _Twitter Cards_ also use Open Graph tags to identify some of the necessary metadata, `USE_OPEN_GRAPH` must also be set to `True` (which is the default).
+
+You can optionally provide a `TWITTER_USERNAME` which will be used to set the Twitter username for the site and for the content creator.
+
+The same image options for Open Graph (see above) can be used for setting images that appear on Twitter Cards. So if you have set an `OPEN_GRAPH_IMAGE` and optionally `og_image` for articles and/or pages, you're good to go for Twitter Cards as well.
+
+### Twitter Timeline
+
+The theme can show your twitter timeline in the sidebar. To enable, provide a `TWITTER_USERNAME` and a `TWITTER_WIDGET_ID`.
+
+To get a `TWITTER_WIDGET_ID`, go to: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets and select `Create new`. You'll find the TWITTER_WIDGET_ID under the html or in the site url:

+* AddThis automatically adds a short hashtag to the end of your URLs. This lets you reveal how often visitors copy your URL from their address bar to share. Example of URL: `http://domain.com/page.html#UF0983`. This function can be disabled by setting `ADDTHIS_DATA_TRACK_ADDRESSBAR` to _False_.
