🗣 How to clone this site

This here that you are reading is a Glitch project, so to create your own site that is identical, you just have to remix this. You can fork on GitHub or remix on Glitch!

📝 Add new posts

All posts live in src/posts/. There are a few posts;

• clone-nerdly.md, which you are reading right now
• welcome-to-nerdly-by-maye-edwin.md, which is an example post that you can duplicate over and over again for new content.

To create a new post, duplicate welcome-to-nerdly-by-maye-edwin.md], and start writing! This should automatically redeploy your site! If you need to force a redeploy, just "fake edit" a post (add a space, remove a space). That will definitely trigger a rebuild!

📝 Add meta data

Customize icons and other website meta data in the .src/_data/ directory!

👩‍🎨 Customize it

This site is written using eleventy, which is a static site generator. The docs are pretty helpful, but the TL; DR is:

• the "look" of the different pages is in src/_includes/layouts. There are two layouts in this project
  • home.njk, used by the index.md post
  • post.njk, used by all the other posts.
• these are HTML + Nunjucks files, and if you want your pages to look different, this is what you should modify.
• the styles come from ./jenga/ directory.

Enjoy!
