Adding a life event in the Timeline

One of the distinctive features of { Personal } is that enables you to tell your life’s story in the form of a timeline of photos, dates and text descriptions.

The Timeline is controlled by the following variables:

events:
  - image: "/img/timeline/spidertocat.png"
    date: "September 2013 - Today"
    description: "Saving the neighborhood!"
  - image: "/img/timeline/baracktocat.jpg"
    date: "September 2007 - August 2013"
    description: "Started coding"

# First image of the Timeline
timeline-img: "/img/timeline/default.png"

For each event of your life, add a tuple of image, date and description to the events, and the timeline will be automatically generated!

The timeline-img path variable is the image that you want to show up in the beginning of your Timeline, so be creative with it!

'Github''s Octocat was designed by Simon Oxley, alongside the white bird Twitter used (before they received a proper logo) as part of a usual routine of cranking out images for iStock. GitHub saw it, and wanted it, presumably under the notion that it can represent how complex code combines to create peculiar things, much like the octopuss... except the CEO of GitHub called it an octocat, and it has been the octocat since then.
