Profile Sidebar Demo

This page uses the nav-profile layout, which displays a profile sidebar on the left with an image, name, description, and links.

How it works

The profile sidebar is configured via _data/nav-profile.yml. The sidebar displays:

  • Profile image: A circular profile photo at the top
  • Name and description: Personal branding and bio information
  • Social links: Quick links to your website, GitHub, social media, and contact information

Profile sidebar configuration

Edit _data/nav-profile.yml to customize:

settings:
  links_font_weight: normal  # or 'bold'

image_url: /assets/images/profile/profile-sample.jpg
alt_text: "Description of your photo"
name: Your Name
description: A brief bio or tagline

links:
  - title: Link Title
    url: https://example.com
    icon: fas fa-icon-name

Icon options

Use Font Awesome icons for links. Common options include:

  • fas fa-globe - Website
  • fab fa-github - GitHub
  • fab fa-twitter - Twitter
  • fab fa-linkedin - LinkedIn
  • fas fa-envelope - Email
  • fas fa-university - University profile
  • fab fa-orcid - ORCID

Next steps

  1. Add your own profile image in assets/images/profile
  2. Update the profile data in _data/nav-profile.yml
  3. Copy this layout to pages where you want the profile sidebar to appear
