question: pagination and search

[TonnyL]

Hi, @janczizikow

Thanks for your nice job, sleek is such a pretty theme that I love it so much 👍.

I wondered if sleek will support pagination and search in the future?

Append:

1. Is there any way to change the page's title?
   
2. And is there any way to add more social icons?

Hey @TonnyL,

Glad you liked the theme! To answer your first questions:

1. The title of the theme is controlled via jekyll seo plugin - you change the title of the index page, but modifying the title property in front matter of index.md:

---
#
# You don't need to edit this file, it's empty on purpose.
# Edit sleeks's default layout instead if you wanna make some changes
# See: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/#overriding-theme-defaults
#
layout: default
title: Sleek Jekyll Theme # Change this to your desired title
---

Or you can remove the property and just control the title in _config.yml file by again changing the title property there.

2. Yes you can add more social icons. If you're using theme as a ruby gem it might be more complicated, but if you forked the repo, you can just modify the _includes/footer.html file. Just add a new link under <nav class="social". The icons are simply SVG code, so you can copy paste the SVG code of the icons you wish to add.

Regarding search and pagination:

Since this theme was made in mind for using with github pages, I don't plan to add pagination functionality. There're some jekyll plugins for adding that functionality, but github pages don't support those plugins. Search could be a nice feature to have, however, for that I would recommend to use algolia. But again to use algolia, you need an API key and usually it's good practice not to share this kind of key on a public repo. Perhaps I could add the functionality and allow users to simply add their key somewhere in the settings (_config.yml) or in a file. This way I wouldn't have to share my API key and people using the theme could still enjoy the search functionality. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any additional questions.

Cheers!
