language

LANG environment variable of my shell is configured to ja_JP.UTF-8.

$ echo $LANG
ja_JP.UTF-8

Therefore I first thought that I have to set LANG=C upon building html so as to obtain English output.

$ LANG=C tinker -b

But it’s confirmed that language parameter in conf.py is valid for “en” as well. value “en” does not work. You will encounter error stating that “loading translations [en]... locale not available” sorry...

language = "en"

And if you would like to configure, say, German as default language of your blog, then configure it as “de”.

language = "de"

But localization is not perfect, for example, date seems to be yielded based upon LANG. So you would better to set LANG upon building html.

$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 tinker -b

theme

You can select theme among following options and set theme in theme in conf.py.

• flat (default)
• modern5
• minimal5
• responsive
• dark

post per page

Sometimes you find that default post per page (10) seems to be too long. You can configure post per page by posts_per_page parameter.

# Number of blog posts per page
posts_per_page = 3
