after you have installed hugo (see [quick start](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/)) run the following in your site's root directory to install the theme
for the contact page to work you have to make a free form at [formspree](https://formspree.io/) and put your form id in the variable `formspreeID` in the configuration file.
every menu entry has a corresponding section named `[[menu.mail]]` under `[menu]`. to add or change a menu entry add or change the corresponding section with `name` being the name displayed in the menu, `pre` is a text before the name (you can grap icons from [fontawesome](https://fontawesome.com/)), `url` is the url that the menu item points to, and weight is an integer value that represent the order of the menu items (items with lower weight float)
In order to see your site updating while changing it, run Hugo's built-in local server.
posts in the directory "posts" (can be configured) in the contents directory will be displayed under the microblog section on the home page. if you want to pin a post to the top put `pinned: true` in the post's front matter.
