My website

Built using the Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme. Hat tip to Grant McDermott, from whom I learned a lot.

These are some changes I've made. They are more for my own reference later. Most questions of the configuration can be solved from reading the quick-start guides of Minimal Mistakes and searching the discussion here.

1. Added font-size: $type-size-5-5; to the file _scss/minimal-mistakes/_base.scss. This is to change the default font size when using .md pages.
2. Commented out follow_label : # "Follow:" in the file _data/ui-text.yml. This is to remove the "Follow: " text in the footer.
3. Followed the README of Grant McDermott and changed the landing page and pagination.
4. Added the following code into the file _includes/head/custom.html. This is to change the favicon of the website:

   <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="{{ base_path }}/assets/images/favicon_sc/apple-touch-icon.png">
   <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="{{ base_path }}/assets/images/favicon_sc/favicon-32x32.png">
   <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="{{ base_path }}/assets/images/favicon_sc/favicon-16x16.png">
   <link rel="manifest" href="{{ base_path }}/assets/images/favicon_sc/site.webmanifest">
   <link rel="mask-icon" href="{{ base_path }}/assets/images/favicon_sc/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5">
   <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#da532c">
   <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

5. Changed the footer height in the file _sass/minimal-mistakes/_footer.scss.
6. Defined a new button style for link to papers, in _sass/minimal-mistakes/_buttons.scss.
7. Changed the .author__avatar in _sass/minimal-mistakes/_sidebar.scss to enlarge the image size and get rid of the border.
8. Updated $global-transition in _sass/minimal-mistakes/_variables.scss to eliminate the transition lags.
