Here are all configurations about this theme.
#### Header Covers
To define custom header cover, set the property ``HEADER_COVER`` in ``pelicanconf.py``:
```python
HEADER_COVER = 'static/my_image.png'
```
This is site level cover image and it will be used If there is no cover image set in [article](#articles) level.
#### Header Color
To define a simple header background color, set the property ``HEADER_COLOR`` in ``pelicanconf.py``:
```python
HEADER_COLOR = 'black'
```
you can use any valid css color. This will be used if there is no cover image set in [article](#articles) level and site level.
#### Social URLs
Github, Twitter and Facebook URLs set these properties:
```python
SOCIAL = (('twitter', 'https://twitter.com/myprofile'),
('github', 'https://github.com/myprofile'),
('facebook','https://facebook.com/myprofile'),
('flickr','https://www.flickr.com/myprofile/'),
('envelope','mailto:my@mail.address'))
```
#### External feed URL
You can specify an external feed URL (e.g. FeedBurner) in ``SOCIAL`` using the
``rss`` or ``rss-square`` or ``feed`` icons. A ``<link>`` tag for the external feed will be
