Rolled out some fixes to the new Marfa theme on Micro.blog, updating the page headers and footer.

@chet Cool! It's possible to change the colors via custom CSS but I don't have an example right now. Requires overriding a few of the colors.

@manton Using the Marfa theme, and liking it. Reminds me of my visit to Marfa, Texas, and rafting the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park.

@antonzuiker Thanks! We've been rafting there too and love west Texas, but have never made it to Marfa. Just about everywhere else nearby: Balmorhea, Alpine, Fort Davis, etc.

@manton @antonzuiker No way! I’m between Alpine and Terlingua right now. Headed up through Marfa tomorrow. Small world.

@willfanguy Beautiful part of the country. My brother-in-law started Marfa Public Radio, my sister-in-law has great airbnb outside Alpine. Wish I could go back.

@antonzuiker We’re at an Airbnb south of Alpine! Tin Valley Ranch! It’s amazing here.

@chet @manton I stumbled upon your conversation about changing the link color in the Marfa theme. I wanted to add a personal touch to Marfa myself and wrote a small how-to. Maybe it is of help to you: roelwillems.com/2018/04/1...

@roelwillems Thanks for writing this up! That's going to be very helpful for people. I can link to it from our help site too.

@chet That's not possible without hiding the element with CSS (you can not alter the HTML). If you really would like to hide it you could use .p-role {display: none;}. Although this is just a hack and not very clean.

@manton That's great, feel free. If it would help others I can also write some additional Microguides for the other themes (just so people can add a small personal touch with a hint of color).

@chet Changing the fonts is certainly possible with the CSS overwrite. Google fonts (or any other third party font) needs to be imported using HTML, so this won't be possible. If you would like a lot of personalisation you could always use Wordpress and cross-posting.

@manton will take a look ... did we ever resolve the page order in menus ?

@chet @roelwillems use an @import CSS directive to include google fonts. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc...

@import url("fonts.googleapis.com/css");

Add to the top of the custom CSS

@JohnPhilpin Yes, the order should be working well now.

@kitt was just about to call you out on this one - who pointed me towards codepen.io

i have been using one of the other templates and had my style all working - but I do like the clean Marfa - so back to codepen to nuance it.

@manton thanks - also thankyou @roelwillems - just moved my world to Marsa and with your tips embedded in codepen.io (thankyou @kitts ) - my new look is beginning to emerge - even making me take out a lot of the pages I had. Still not there - but as the boys from Liverpool had ... It’s getting better all the time

@manton just switched to Marfa, and I’m seeing a flood of build failures on github: Your SCSS file assets/stylesheets/global.scss has an error on line 1: File to import not found or unreadable: base/reset. Load path: /hoosegow/.bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/jekyll-theme-primer-0.5.3/sass

@jeff Some of the themes aren't compatible with GitHub Pages. I'm investigating why, but in the meantime if the errors are annoying I'd suggest disabling the GitHub mirroring.

@manton thanks! I’ll just switch back to the old theme. Thanks!
