For those who want to add extra items on index page(home page)

[YoobinLee]

Here I make an example of "links". You can see the final result in YoobinPage.

1. Enter the theme folder.

• open /layout/index.ejs, insert:

<% if (site.data.links) { %>
<section id="links">
  <span class="h1"><a href="<%- url_for(theme.links_url) %>"><%= __('index.links') %></a></span>
  <ul class="link-list">
    <% for(var obj in site.data.links){ %>
      <li class="link-item">
        <a href="<%= site.data.links[obj].url %>"><%= site.data.links[obj].name %></a>: <%- markdown(site.data.links[obj].desc) %>
      </li>
    <% } %>
  </ul>
</section>
<% } %>

• open /source/css/_partial/index.styl, insert:

.link-list
  padding: 0
  list-style: none

  .link-item
    margin-bottom: 5px
    p
      display: inline

• open /languages/en.yml (or any language file you are using), insert this line in the index item:

links: Friend Links

2. Return to the root, build new source/_dada/links.json, insert:

[
    {
       "name":"",
       "url":"",
       "desc":""
    }
]

3. If you want to add hyperlink to the title in the index page:

• cd to root file, input command in the terminal:
  hexo new page links

• open /cactus/_config.yml, insert:
  links_url = /links/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking into your github-pages source code, this should be an implementation for hexo-theme-cactus, not hugo-theme-cactus. Either way, cool addition!
