How to use “Memoirs” theme

• Download or git clone https://github.com/wowthemesnet/jekyll-theme-memoirs.git

From the rood of your downloaded/cloned folder, open your terminal and install:

gem install bundler

Then:

bundle install

Edit _config.yml options. If your site is in root: baseurl: ''. Also, change your Google Analytics code, disqus username, authors, Mailchimp list etc.

Again, from your terminal:

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch

You should be able to see your Jekyll project now, if you didn’t change the folder name you should see it live at http://127.0.0.1:4000/jekyll-theme-memoirs.

Start populating your blog by adding your .md files in _posts. Memoirs already has a few examples.
