Hey Arvind,

thank you for sharing another theme with the Hugo community.

While reviewing your theme I noticed that the thumbnail and screenshot dont have the right dimensions. You can find them in the README.

Furthermore, please add a content subfolder to exampleSite. This one is required by the build script if an exampleSite folder is present. You don't have to populate it with any actual content. To make it trackable you could add an empty file like .gitkeep.

Right now, the footer includes links to subpages that don't exist. Therefore I suggest to replace them with # to remain on the homepage.

Let me know when you've fixed the above mentioned issues or encouter any problems.

Your theme should appear soon on Hugo's theme site. Next, I'll promote your theme on Hugo's official Twitter account.

@digitalcraftsman Thank you

The deployment of the updated Hugo theme site is stuck right now. I'm in contact with Netlify (our hoster) to resolve the issue. So don't be surprised.

Your theme is now live and has been promoted on Twitter.
