If you want a full working example take a look [here](https://github.com/alexandrevicenzi/blog/blob/master/pelicanconf.py).

### How main menu works?

If `MAIN_MENU = True`, the order is: Home, `MENUITEMS`, Atom and RSS if available.

### How sidebar menu works?

The order is Pages and `LINKS`. `LINKS` are shown in a new page.

### How social menu works?

All icons are provided by [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/).

A set of icons have custom background, for this you must follow the names below:

- envelope-o (for email)
- facebook
- github
- github-alt
- google
- linkedin
- pinterest
- rss
- stack-overflow
- twitter
- youtube

Example:

```python
SOCIAL = (('linkedin', 'https://br.linkedin.com/in/alexandrevicenzi/en'),
          ('github', 'https://github.com/alexandrevicenzi'),)
```

If you need more icons, you will need to add a custom background to keep all icons similar.

## Custom File Metadata

| Name | What does it do? |
|:----:|------------------|
| Summarize | Enable Home summary. |
| Cover | Cover image for social sharing (absolute url). |
| og_locale | Open graph locale for article. |

By default, all article content is shown on Home.
If the article has a custom Summary, the custom summary is shown.
If the article has `Summarize: True` metadata, the default article summary is shown.

## Code Highlight

If you want to replace Pygments theme (default is GitHub) take a look at [Pygments Docs](http://pygments.org/) and replace `pygments.min.css`.
