+title: Introducing Themes and More!

+
+As you may or may not have noticed, the code club website has had the basic
+facilities for adding your own custom theme to the website.
+
+Well today I'm happy to announce theses themes are ready for general use! Go on
+try it out now, scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a dropdown menu
+under a header called `Change Theme:`. Click on it and you will see (at the time
+of this announcement) 2 themes to choose from. The original theme for the
+website `Code Club Classic` and a new one `Minimal`. 
+
+Choosing a different theme will cause the page to reload briefly as your browser
+downloads the new theme but very soon you will be looking at an entirely new
+code club website!
+
+Of course it's not very exciting having only 2 themes to choose from, so I
+invite you to create your own theme and submit it to the website especially
+since there is now...
+
+## A Competition!
+
+As of now the code club is launching it's first competiton! We want you to
+create your own look and feel for the website and submit it to the repository.
+
+We will close submissions at the start of the last hour of the last code club
+this semester. During the last hour of that same code club, all submissions will
+be judged and the winner will be picked as the default theme for all new
+visitors to the website!
+
+## How to submit a theme
+
+Now in this post I won't go through how to actually make your theme but that
+will be coming up in a future tutorial series, so be on the look out for that,
+but this post will tell you how to install and submit your theme once you've
+made it.
+
+Your theme should be consist of a single `.scss` file in the `css` folder and
+any other sass files that make up your theme should be in their own folder in
+the `_sass` folder.
+
+The only thing other than that which you need to do is "install" it. On the
+website we have a file called `_data/themes.yml` which we use to tell the
+website about the themes we have there for it to use
+
+So to install a theme you need to make an entry similar to this one:
+
+```yml
+- name: Minimalist
+  shortname: minimal
+  version: 0.1
+  author: Alex 
+
+```
+Where `name` is the name that you want displayed on the website when your theme
+is displayed, `shortname` is the name of your `.scss` file in the `css` folder.
+`version` is just some number that represents how well developed you think your
+theme is and of course `author` should be your name so we know who made that
+awesome theme!
+
+Don't worry if you need help installing your theme on the website, there will
+always be someone at code club who will be able to help you.
