Before continuing please create a post archetype. Archetypes are located within markdown files in the archetypes directory of your site:
flying-toasters
├── archetypes
│ ├── default.md
│ └── post.md
├── content
If post.md does not exist yet, copy it from the After Dark default:
$ cd flying-toasters
$ cp themes/after-dark/archetypes/post.md archetypes/
Make some changes to post.md then use hugo new to draft a new post:
$ vi archetypes/post.md # or vim, emacs, nano ...
$ hugo new post/totally-twisted.md
If hugo server is running with the --navigateToChanged flag your new post will appear automatically in JavaScript-enabled browsers. If you see an empty page you probably need to restart hugo server with the --buildDrafts flag.
Use archetypes to maintain consistency when creating content for Custom Layouts. Like custom layouts Hugo Archetypes may contain templating logic.
The above tip uses a shortcode called Alert. In addition to a number of Shortcodes After Dark provides a number of other Features.
The Module System, for example, provides a module to display image animations with alpha transparency and something not possible using a GIF:
If you do not see the above animation, you may install the Fractal Forest module yourself or reinstall After Dark using Quick Install for instant setup.
Review the Online Help to learn about other useful features such as the Section Menus navigational aid, responsive Post Images, offline Fuzzy Search and more.
If online help isn’t running, go ahead and start it using the corresponding command from the following cheat sheet within your site directory:
# After Dark scripts
./themes/after-dark/bin/upgrade # check for updates and upgrade
./themes/after-dark/bin/help # start online help docs
./themes/after-dark/bin/install # run the quick installer
# Hugo commands
