This theme uses Hugos feature/cover
name method to set the optimized feature image. The image named *feature*
or *cover*
is used for the posts featured image and get resized. This will also be in the Twitter Cards and Open Graph block.
The header image is automatically added if there is a file called *feature*
or *cover*

The theme provides two ways for custom css/js. The first way is writing your styles to /assets/css/custom.css
and scripts to /assets/js/custom.js
. This will merge and minify the styles/scripts with the theme specific files resulting in only one file for the whole website.
The second way is using the Site configuration or the post metadata to target specific files in the /assets/
folder. This will result in one import line per script/style.
