OK, so I broke my own blog many years ago, wordpress, hated it. I like this blog style. I was using bashblog, but I want to give this a shot.
I am apparently a moron.
I cloned the git repo. https://github.com/kevquirk/startablog https://github.com/kevquirk/startablog It is all markdown. OK, I get a markdown converter for my linux server, but wait... the actual posts are in _posts/YYYY, so there must be some kind of script that goes through this thing and generates html... I am at a loss for what that is or where it is located?
- bluehatbrit 4y agoThe gemfile has some jekyll plugins, some I'm guessing they've setup their netlify application to somehow handle Jekyll automatically. Not an expert with Netlify I'm guessing something in the _config.yml file is telling it to use Jekyll.
- Kalium 4y agoGlancing at the Gemfile, it's a Jekyll system. That's a Ruby package that does all the markdown to markup conversion. This seems like relevant documentation: https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/04/02/a-step-by-step-guide-jekyll-4.0-on-netlify/ https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/04/02/a-step-by-step-guide...
- readingnews 4y agoAh thanks. You know, it seems easier to just write the thing for something so simple... otherwise we have to now keep track of ruby and gems and such. I mean, it is one more thing for a simple blog, right?
- rambambram 4y agoIf you want to quickly start a blog, online, with feeds and a feedreader built-in, while also quickly creating a nice style for the thing, I can shamelessly recommend taking a look at https://www.heyhomepage.com https://www.heyhomepage.com

- rambambram 4y agoThanks, good catch. I updated the urls, so now the live sample sites do work.
