Some small fixes to bring the theme into line with Hugo versions later than 0.120

Thanks to @UnixSage for these PRs

Small fixes after two years!

Since the last release there's been a bunch of little improvements and changes including

• Optional additional headers (thank @jsumners)
• A bunch of little fixes from @paulwellnerbou
• Other little things including bringing FontAwesome up to version 6.

Modules are Go

New in this release

• Theme is now a hugo module
• MathJax Support (thanks @swflint)
• Fixed page title

Pagination on home page and bug fixes

This release follows a few PRs from @alexmufatti

• Home Page now has pagination.
• If commenting is enabled site wide, comments can be disabled for a single page using the new (optional) page parameter disablePosts.
• Strava social icon available

And from @lau-jay

• Disqus comments can be auto loaded site-wide by setting commentAutoload in the site config.

Bug Fixes

• Disqus comment button now displays text.
• Fixes to CSS for code highlighting - thanks @dannyBies

Set number of posts on front page

Follows issue #32. You can now set the number of posts to be listed on the front page by setting Params.homepageLength in the config.

Support for feature images

Thanks to @madpipeline for this. There is now support for optional feature images on pages, which is displayed when viewing a single article and the index/list view. To set a feature image, use the images = [] parameter in the page's frontmatter.

Dark Mode

Thanks to @jiwhunkim for this PR (#23). With the new CSS model, a dark colour scheme will be applied for users with dark mode running on their system.

This release also provides support for utterances, an open-source commenting system based on Git.

Correctly Meta

This is a 'bug fix' release. Thanks to this discussion on the Hugo forums a problem with caching metadata has been fixed.

This release also includes a copy of the relevant fontawesome files, as I still haven't worked out how to use pseudo-elements with the 'font kit'. (This fixes the blockquote layout.)

There have also been some changes to the exampleSite and documentation, particularly aimed at helping new users. Thanks, @alfredocambera.

Updated Social Icons

Updated the way social icons are built in order to improve flexibility.

There's now loads of social icons available (thanks to the BeautifulHugo Theme) which users can change or improve by overriding the theme's version of data/social.toml in their own directory.

As per issue 8 I'll move to tagging rather than updating CHANGELOG.md
