Customizing the layout of your site

Introduction

While the Academic Pages is intended to allow you to get a website up and running as quickly and easily as possible, a high degree of customization is also possible. While some of the customization can be completed by editing data files, some of the customization will require modifications to CSS or HTML.

Order of Navigation Bar

The order of the top navigation bar is controlled by the _data/navigation.yml file which is written in standard YAML. When setting up your website you may have deleted the following lines to remove the link markdown hints page:

  - title: "Guide"
    url: /markdown/

However, you can also remove links to other sections by deleting the respective lines from the file. Since the order of the entries in the file determines the order they appear in the navigation bar, changing the order will also adjust their order in the navigation bar.
