https://devichs.github.io is a static website in a blog format.

I've built the site using only html and css from the Twitter bootstrap template, modifying as needed.

Before putting this together I fooled around with a static site generator called Pelican. Pelican uses Python and Jinja2 templates

to put a site together through Themes. The Pelican Themes are in github. The site is generated by using a configuration file.

This process can be seen in the Pelican docs and github.

--General rules used to navigate through the addition of articles and categories.

index.html [points to ..category/misc.html in the post discription and navigation menu under categories. This will have an article count per category] -categories.html [side bar menu item points to ..category/misc.html] -category [folder holding the named category html page(s)] -misc.html [each category gets an html page with a link to the categorized article]

The site was put together with Visual Studio by creating an empty ASP.NET page and stripping all unecessary components.

It was a good exercise that gave me a better understanding of how the Pelican/Jinja2 system works and then also working with Visual Studio.
