My personal notebook. Plain HTML + CSS, no build step, hosted free on GitHub Pages. Live at https://brandeispatrick.github.io/blog/.
- No framework, no build. Every page is a static
.htmlfile you can open directly. - One stylesheet (
style.css) — a single readable column, system fonts, a fixed light theme. - Pretext powers the freely-arranged hero tagline on the homepage (loaded from a CDN, progressively enhanced — the page works fine without it).
- Copy an existing file in
posts/toposts/your-slug.html. - Edit the title, date, and body.
- Add a
<article class="post-link">entry near the top ofindex.htmlso it shows in the list. - Commit and push — GitHub Pages redeploys automatically.
Just open index.html in a browser, or serve the folder:
python3 -m http.server
# then visit http://localhost:8000
