@pimoore awesome!!!
@pimoore In your write up about installation you refer to Tufte a couple of times. // @toddgrotenhuis
@pimoore Youāre on fire with these quality themes. M.b needs a directory for these kinds of things.
@pimoore Nice work, Pete. Iām using it and I love it.
@pimoore Dammit! I had just gotten used to my theme and now youāre tempting me with this one. Great job!
@amit I gave kudos to Pat Dryburgh when he first designed and presented Hitchens. When was that, 1-2 yrs ago or more? I wonder whether heās still around to now see people like it. I remember Manton liked it back then too, but for some reason it couldnāt be used on microblog. So now it can be? Maybe it should be called Dryburgh, not Hitchens.
@pimoore Youāre not kidding about the short code issue. At work, we created our own shortcodes on a project and found weād created our own lock-in that we had to get out of. š¤£
@pimoore my stream is full of hoopla about Hitchens ⦠and I thought .. no worries ⦠I already have the most excellent Tufte. And then I saw the screen shots.
Damn you Pete Moore ⦠damn you ⦠you have done it again.
It is LOVELY!
@pimoore Thatās great! Loving the Tufte, but Iāll have to see what people do with Hitchens. I was a late adopter of the Tufte, but it does everything I want from a theme.
@timapple yep, this is one reason I prefer using plain markdown and SSGs that doesnāt require my to use ācustomā markdown
@odd most tempted because of no lock ins with short codes ⦠thatās what has held me back
@JohnPhilpin Iām not even sure what a short code is. I donāt think I have used any. Then Iām not the worldās most advanced user either.
@pimoore Ok. Iām pretty sure he is of Norwegian descent on his fatherās side though, unless the name originally is Danish.
@pimoore I suspected so. The place heās from isnāt that far from where Olaf Tufte, the multiple Olympic Gold winner is from.
@Pilchuck That was a starting point for many of the people going west, wasnāt it? If I remember correctly, some of my relatives went on to Minnesota from there.
@pimoore š Olaf pronounce his last name āTUFF-tehā. Heās a really tuff guy. Tuff, but nice, (from what Iāve seen on TV, donāt know him personally).
@pimoore I would not have used double ff or ee to describe the pronunciation of that name. Unless you want to do the most American version possible š¤
@Pilchuck This was maybe a common occurrence, to have long immigration, because it must have been steep rent prices with all the immigrants coming in at that time?
On my mothers side, my grandfather was born in the late 1800s too, and I think itās odd to think about only two generations up, and weāre back when there were practically no cars or electric appliances around.
@Ron Been a really rough year but I just saw this now. I love that people are expanding on it and making it accessible to more people! I just wish Iād been sent an email about it just so I had something to make me smile while things havenāt been so⦠smile inducing.
@pat Hi Pat, Yes it would have been good manners for folks to thank you from the start! I donāt know what made it so popular recently. There are a lot of experimenters here who are constantly making changes on their blogs. I suppose their focus is on how their blogs are looking.
My condolences to you for the loss of your father. These have been very rough times for so many, in so many ways. My best wishes to you & hope this is a sign that times have now changed for the better for you.

@pimoore Youāve done an outstanding job with it. I tried at one point to figure out a migration path from Jekyll to Hugo, but I didnāt have the time at the time to see it through.
Iām sorry about your dad, too. Iām grateful that I was able to spend almost the entire last year caring for and spending time with Dad. I expect the grieving process to take years; heck, my dadās death brought up feelings about my momās death 7 years prior. Iām thankfully in a stable place with family nearby which really helps.
@pimoore I had thought installation would be much trickier than it appears to be from reading your post⦠and that Iād need Hugo or something. I might give it a shot. Thanks again =]
@pimoore Iām a bit late and probably dense, but how do I change colors? Do I need to clone the plugin and change it there? Or is there a better way?
