 ## About
 
 This is an adaptation of the Jekyll theme [Beautiful Jekyll](https://deanattali.com/beautiful-jekyll/) by [Dean Attali](https://deanattali.com/aboutme#contact). It supports most of the features of the original theme, and many new features. It has diverged from the Jekyll theme over time, with years of community updates.
