New Nikola Tutorial

2013-02-21 17:41

Tim van der Lin­den has writ­ten a im­pres­sive tu­to­ri­al about how he used Niko­la to cre­ate his new site shisaa.jp

It doc­u­ments the whole process from scratch, start­ing by down­load­ing Niko­la up to build­ing your own theme.

Even if you are al­ready us­ing Niko­la you may find some new stuff there, so take a read (al­so, his theme is so pret­ty :-)

Well, it does now, be­cause Dami­an Avi­la has fixed it!

Review:

Meh. The starts tooltip says 2 means "it was ok", but re­al­ly, this was meh. Not 1-s­tar "did­n't like it", but ...

Must con­fess I did not read the Hol­ly­wood stuff at the end. Maybe that's good, I ust did­n't both­er.
