Mythos Theme

I’m excited to announce the release of Mythos, a clean and fast theme designed specifically for Micro.blog. After weeks of development and testing, it’s now available in the Micro.blog plugin directory.

What is Mythos?

Mythos is built around a simple philosophy: your writing should be the star. The theme uses clean black text on a white background with carefully chosen typography that makes reading a pleasure on any device. No fancy animations, no cluttered sidebars, no distractions—just your words presented beautifully. (And yes, there is an elegant dark mode as well.)

Micro.blog allows you to create collections (or albums) of photos for display throughout your site. Mythos handles those collections with ease to display them beautifully on all devices.

Development Mode is a feature unique to Mythos Theme designed to help in making CSS customizations to the site. In the theme settings, you can enable Development Mode.

Development Mode is meant only for sites still in production. Once your site is live, you must disable it.

Once enabled, you can use a device with a mouse/pointer to hover and click different elements. You’ll see class names, size information, and much more.

This is a traditional blog post with a title. It does not have content length restraints. By default, the full content of a post will be shown throughout the blog unless you add a read more tag.

If you prefer to use summaries with these posts, you can enable that in the Theme Settings. Once enabled, you can add your summary directly in the Micro.blog post editor (click the three dots in the upper right hand corner). If you do not add a summary or a read more tag to posts, Mythos Theme will automatically truncate your posts at the 150 word mark (approximately) if you have summaries enabled.

This is a micro post that breaks the soft limit of 300 characters. Despite being longer, it is still treated as a micropost and will avoid being truncated. The identifying mark on a micro post is the lack of a title.

This is a micro post (less than 300 characters) with no title. Posts of this type will never be truncated.
