#sbs

Static Blogging System

sbs is a POSIX compliant static blog generator that generates an HTML blog, an RSS feed, and a rolling blog page from Markdown.

#Installation

First, make sure Pandoc is installed on your system.

In order to use sbs the <!-- SB --> (start blog) tag needs to be added to your RSS, home page, and rolling blog pages in order to enable those features. You can use my website repository as an example here or my actual website here.

Change all the variables in the beginning of the script according to your own website specifications as well as create the:

• Website directory
• Blog Directory
• RSS file
• Rolling blog page in blog directory
• Drafts directory
• Home page (index.html)
• CSS stylesheet
• Website icon

You can also set your EDITOR variable to use your preferred text editor, otherwise vi is used by default.

sbs can also be used on a directory by directory basis, just change the website_dir variable to $(pwd).
