Goal

Upgrade the website to a more modern look and at the same time improve the ease of access to key information for new users

and add your favourite / mark your favourite with your initials in the table below:

Theme Name Link Votes
Minimal Mistakes ​https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/ AJJ, TS (Graphics Dependent), MG
Beautiful-jekyll ​https://deanattali.com/beautiful-jekyll/ WP, MD, RL

At the November 13 meeting beautiful-jekyll was agreed as the choice, partly due to the need for lots of graphics work to make the minimal-mistakes theme work. Ricardo Leal agreed to take a first stab at conversion.
