Starting the theme by modifying some of the old code I had set up in the old Github repo last year.

Defining the CSS variables for the theme.

Leaving myself a reminder to support Jekyll tags first, then categories.

<time class="timestamp--time">03:59 AM</time>
I don't like how Jekyll embeds code blocks surrounded by Liquid tags within a `<figure>` element, so I've removed support for it, as figure elements are being used for images with captions.

Added monokai theme for code blocks, and moved some navigation elements around.

Still have to rethink footnotes.

Now I'm working on installing a local version of the gem after pushing it to Github. I guess first I should update the links.

<time class="timestamp--time">05:50 AM</time>
Note: To include default index.md, posts.md, and devlog.md, I had to update the `spec.files` line to this:

```ruby
spec.files = `git ls-files -z`.split("\x0").select { |f| f.match(%r!^(assets|_data|_layouts|_includes|_sass|LICENSE|README|_config\.yml|Devlog\.md|index\.md|posts\.md)!i) }
```

**Update**: These files are not automatically included, so I will make sure to note that in the README.md

I just published the gem to RubyGems [here](https://rubygems.org/gems/arrow-jekyll-theme)
