Zplit is a single-page, centrally-divided layout designed for a professional online presence. It features a large image or video on the left, accompanied by content on the right. Zplit is a port of [Split](//onepagelove.com/split) by [One Page Love](//onepagelove.com) for [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/).
The most important file of the theme is located in the root directory and is named =config.toml=. Edit this file to customize your preferences. Look for sections like `[extra]` to set variables like `author`, or `[extra.content]` to modify intro_tagline.
If something is unclear or not obvious, you might have missed [the "configuration" section of the Zola official documentation](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/configuration/). Even if you're new to static site generators, don't worry and take some time to go through the documentation, as it covers fundamental concepts.
To add new posts, simply place markdown files in the `content` directory. In order to sort the post index by date, you need to enable the `sort_by` option in the `content/_index.md` file within the index section.
This theme was not specifically designed for blogging, but rather as a landing page for professionals. However, if you wish to blog using this theme, you certainly can. To do so, simply add a new section in the content directory and include it in the main menu through the config file. This will make it readily accessible to the user.
The theme does not offer support for taxonomies or other advanced features. It is focused on providing simple pages. If you wish to enhance the blogging functionality, you are welcome to customize the code or submit a specific request as an issue.
To make custom changes to the original stylesheets, you can create a `custom.css` file in the `static` directory. In this file, you can add any modifications or additions you desire.
If you need to make adjustments to the colors or grid dimensions, it may be easier to modify the frontmatter of the `_01-content.scss` file directly. In this file, you will find variables conveniently located at the top:
