Minimal Mistakes => The blog's parent theme

Changes To Parent Theme:

1. Setup my markdown template for new posts as follows:

   ---
   title: New Note
   date: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + i
   author: gerryw1389
   layout: single
   classes: wide
   permalink: /copy file name WITHOUT Extension - ex: /2019/08/opendns/
   tags:
     - Azure
     - Terraform
   ---
   <!--more-->
   
   ### Description:
   
   Text
   
   ### To Resolve:
   
   1. Text2
   

2. To get it to show line numbers for code blocks, inside _config.yml I set:

   markdown: kramdown
   kramdown:
   syntax_highlighter: rouge
   syntax_highlighter_opts:
      css_class: "highlight"
      span:
         line_numbers: false
      block:
         line_numbers: true

3. Recently, I wanted to change the font to be smaller, I did this by editing /assets/css/main.scss and putting in:

   --- 
   # Only the main Sass file needs front matter (the dashes are enough) 
   --- 
   
   @charset "utf-8";
   
   @import "minimal-mistakes/skins/{{ site.minimal_mistakes_skin | default: 'default' }}"; // skin
   @import "minimal-mistakes"; // main partials
   
   // https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues/1219#issuecomment-326809412
   html {
      font-size: 12px; // originally 16px
      @include breakpoint($medium) {
         font-size: 16px; // originally 18px
      }
   
      @include breakpoint($large) {
         font-size: 18px; // originally 20px
      }
   
      @include breakpoint($x-large) {
         font-size: 20px; // originally 22px
      }
   }
   

   • So font size went from 18 => 16, 20 => 18, and 22 => 20 for each type

4. For left sidebar options for single posts, I use the following at _data/naviagation.yml:

   categories:
   - title: Home
      children:
         - title: "<= Back To Home"
         url: https://automationadmin.com/
         - title: "Popular Posts"
         url: https://automationadmin.com/2016/02/popular-posts/
   - title: Donate
      children:
         - title: "Buy me a coffee ❤"
         url: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/gerryw1389
   

5. For Google Adsense I pasted code into includes/head/custom.html

   • More info on my blog if needed
   • I recently moved from disqus to utterances per the Parent Theme's docs.

6. Change dates from %B %d, %Y to %Y-%m-%d by adding under defaults: the sub values show_date: true and date_format per docs

7. Anything I might have missed should be here.

8. NOTE: I'm currently stuck on version 4.16.5 due to an issue I discussed here. It's probably an easy fix but I haven't figured it out yet :/
