blog

A minimal blog static site generator written in PHP.

Setup

composer install will install the dependencies.

Directory layout

Create a posts/ directory and fill it with .post.md files. I suggest naming them with the YYYY-MM-DD-post-name format, so they sort correctly. The first line will be used as the title.

If you want a description for the front page, create posts/blog-description.md.

Media files can be placed in a media/ directory and referenced likewise in the Markdown (e.g. ![](/media/image.png)).

Generating a site

make will populate out/ with the generated site.

make clean will clear it.

Hosting a site

For clean URLs, this software assumes that 1) the site is hosted on the web root and 2) .html extensions on posts will be hidden. See config/nginx/blog.ajf.me for an example of how to do that..
