monthly-archive

Sidebar part of Monthly Archive for Octopress.

Installation

1. Copy plugins/monthly_archive.rb and plugins/monthly_generator.rb to your plugins directory.

2. Copy source/_layouts/monthly_index.html to your source/_layouts/ directory.

3. Copy source/_includes/custom/asides/monthly_archive.html to your source/_includes/custom/asides/ directory.

4. Copy source/javascripts/monthly_archive.js to your source/javascripts/ directory, and add a line:

   <script src="{{root_url}}/javascripts/monthly_archive.js"></script>

   to source/_includes/custom/head.html.

5. Copy sass/plugins/_monthly_archive.scss to your sass/plugins/ directory.

   If you have old octopress (if your sass/screen.scss doesn't have @import "plugins/**/*";), you may need to add

   @import "monthly_archive"

   to sass/plugins/_plugins.scss.

Done!
