Your local archetypes in `/archetypes` will override the theme archetypes in `/themes/tumble/archetypes` so move or delete your local `/archetypes/default.md`. + +## Installation + +From the root of your Hugo site: + + $ git clone https://github.com/adrianshort/tumble.git themes/ + +Enable the theme in your `/config.toml` file: + + theme = "tumble" + +### Installing in a subfolder + +If you want the root of your tumblelog in `https://example.org/deep/nested/folder/` rather than `https://example.org/` it should mostly work although image relative URLs in `post`s might not work right. This needs tidying up so that `relativeURLs = true` in your `config.toml` is respected properly. Leave that set to false for now. + +## Creating content + +All content types except `post` are set to `draft: false` for immediate publication. + +All content types have a common set of tags, which is the only taxonomy supported. + +### Asides + +An aside is a short piece of text, typically one or two sentences.
