Blog on GitHub with Hexo and Icarus theme

I wanted to create a simple blog for documentation and how-to tutorials. I would be writing in markup language, as I am using GitHub repositories. I would also like to have automated the posting dates, menus, tags, navigation and have an adapted view for mobile devices.

I will not be thorough, just dot the guidelines and changes I had to make to the references below, due to updated software and my specific Linux host OS (Fedora 23). For additional information, links are provided in each chapter.
