#rielaender.org

My rielaender.org site.

#How it works:

#Writing:

• The date is in the filename.
• The URI for final publishing is in the filename.
• The title is in the first line of the file.
• The rest is the content body, written in HTML.

#Templates:

Plain erb Ruby templates are in templates/

Shared header and footer for the whole site.

#Merging:

A Ruby script (make.rb) goes through all the content directories and reads the files.

• It starts an array for the collection of content in each subdirectory.
• It parses each file, gets the metadata, merges it into the template, and writes it to disk.
• Afterwards, it uses the collection array to merge with the index template, and writes that to disk.
• Finally, it uses all the collections to write the home page, which shows the newest additions of various types.

#Serving:

Nginx serves the final static site from the site/ directory.
