Closed tinasoul closed 11 years ago

tinasoul commented 11 years ago

in config

set :email, "tinapshah@gmail.com"?

It's actually:

set :gravatar_email_address, "me@adalovelace.com"

...where the email address is one that you have set up to use with Gravatar. Let me know if that works for you.

ok have the gravtar email set already....this pulls in the gravtar

want a mail icon to show up in the nav...like this http://withwarmth.tumblr.com/abouttinapshah

html would be something like this on a normal site just wondering what to do in middleman

Oh okay, so that isn't actually implemented. I only have support for the social networks listed there in config.rb. It'd be easy to add it yourself, though:

There I'm calling the social_network_link helper method. You could add support for email address icons to that method:

Middleman is just static HTML with Rails niceties like templating, partials, and the asset pipeline. It's easy to add straight HTML to a Middleman site, and the docs are super-helpful. If you're working on a static site, Middleman is definitely the way to go.

If you add support for a new icon, be sure to open a pull request! Thanks. :smile:
