slim-pickins-jekyll-theme

Slim Pickins is what I consider to be a minimal 'core' theme with everything I need to quickly develop new themes for Jekyll. Custom Rakefile with tasks for deploying and notifying search engines about updates. First, it checks a page's yaml frontmatter for the header image, if none is found then it checks for a site-wide default in your config.yml, if none is found then no banner image is displayed. I like my footers to stay on the bottom of the page no matter what. You can easily edit the size and color using the supplied sass variables.
