# Lagom
> #### *Lagom* is a Swedish word with no direct English equivalent, meaning "just the right amount"
Lagom, a [Jekyll][j] blog theme with just the right amount of style.
Extracted lovingly from [http://mdswanson.com][mds] for your enjoyment!
* Responsive, based on [Skeleton][skeleton]
* [Font Awesome][font-awesome] for icons
* Open Sans from [Google web fonts][gfonts]
* Built-in Atom RSS feed

## Installation
- Install Jekyll: `gem install jekyll`
- [Fork this repository][fork]
- Clone it: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/lagom`
- Run the jekyll server: `jekyll serve`
You should have a server up and running locally at <http://localhost:4000>.
## Customization
Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in
[_config.yml][config]. That's where you can add your social links, change the accent
color, stuff like that.
There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:
- [CNAME][cname]: If you're using this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name,
you'll want to change this to be the domain you're going to use. All that should
be in here is a domain name on the first line and nothing else (like: `example.com`).
- [favicon.png][favicon]: This is the icon in your browser's address bar. You should
change it to whatever you'd like.
- [logo.png][logo]: A square-ish image that appears in the upper-left corner
## Deployment
You should deploy with [GitHub Pages][pages] - it's just easier.
All you should have to do is rename your repository on GitHub to be
`username.github.io`. Since everything is on the `gh-pages` branch, you
should be able to see your new site at <http://username.github.io>.
