## Source excerpt

Henry is a theme I first open-sourced for Jekyll. I've now recreated Henry for Hugo after migrated this blog to Hugo. You can read about it here. I've used Jekyll as my blog engine here and meticulously tweaked it over the years to support a bunch of features. Many folks have asked me if I would ever put my theme up for sale or distribute it more widely. I'm happy to announce that it's now available for free and open source. Introducing Henry - a Jekyll theme with a gorgeous reading experience, chock-full of features. Features # Customizability ## A blog theme is only useful if it is versatile enough to reflect your unique character and touch. Henry is extremely customizable. With simple scss override files you can customize the entire look of your blog. I've made sure the overrides get layered in, on top of Henry's base CSS making it easy to quickly add your own customizations. Take a look: Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video. Download the video instead. To see a demo of the difference, compare this blog (what you're currently reading) with my brother's. Both use Henry. You can push the boundaries by adding independent pages and nifty scripting. Take a look at this sample portfolio page I've started building for my brother's blog.1 FootSidenotes ## I picked this feature up from Tufte CSS2 - inspired by the legendary Edward Tufte. If you're reading this post on a wide screen you should notice the sidenote tips above. Go ahead and hover your cursor over it to see the sidenote highlighted. If you're on a narrower screen (or phone) the sidenote morphs into a traditional footnote with quick jump links. You can read more about this feature and its implementation in this blog post. Image display ## With Henry, you can display images in a variety of ways.  Or use HTML directly with customized css tags: <img class="tac" src="/assets/img/lawsofux.webp" /> // Added this to my main_override.scss file .tac { margin: 0 auto } Courtesy: lawsofux
