Blog Publisher Script

blog-publisher.js - This script is used to publish blog posts in the CynthiaOS Website.

Prerequisites:

• NodeJS
• npm

Publishing A Blog Post:

$ cd blog/
$ npm install
$ node blog-publisher.js
[>] Enter a title for your blog (My Blog Title): <ENTER YOUR BLOG TITLE HERE>
[>] Enter a permalink for your blog (my-blog-link): <ENTER PREFERRED PERMALINK HERE>
[>] Enter a description for your blog (meta description): <ENTER YOUR BLOG DESCRIPTION HERE>
[>] Enter the path to MD file (my-blog.md): <ENTER THE PATH TO THE MARKDOWN FILE>

How Does It Work?

When you run the blog-publisher.js script with the required inputs ie: title, permalink, description, and the blog markdown file, it creates a directory (that becomes the permalink) for the blog and converts the Markdown content to HTML, then combines and beautifies the blog content with the header and footer HTML templates with the template renderer (template.js).

It also sets the title and description inside the SEO tags.

Modules Used:

• showdown to convert Markdown to HTML
• pretty to beautify the output HTML

Contributions:

• Improve the blog template (blog/templates/*).
• Add more features to the script.
• Clean up the code? (PS: I am bad at JavaScript)
• Any new ideas, send them in!
