We just deployed a new feature for prose that we think is worth an
announcement. We care about radical experimentation
at pico and want to continue to make potentially dramatic changes to the look
and function of our services. For many of our services, this is not much of an
issue. However for prose, things are a little different when it comes to the
look and feel of a person's blog. We don't want to make dramatic changes to our
theme over time without being careful.
As a result, we are giving users an escape hatch to define the look and feel of their blog's styles.
with_styles allows users to disable our
default CSS styles entirely. That along with the user-defined _styles.css, it
should make it easier to customize your blog.
Just send us a _readme.md file with the following setting:
1---
2with_styles: false
3---
Further, we plan to make some bigger changes to the default styles on prose. You can see what it will look like at bower.sh.
If you want your blog to have the same style as it exists today, disable the
default styles with_styles: false like above and then download the current
version of our styles:
1curl -o ./_styles.css https://prose.sh/smol.css
2scp ./_styles.css prose.sh:/
