# Blug # | ||
|
||
*Because "I just blogged about it" is too difficult to say* | ||
|
||
## Intro ## | ||
|
||
Blug is a static site generator for Markdown based blogs. It currently | ||
uses the Octopress based theme from www.jeffknupp.com, but this will change shortly. | ||
While Blug generates static pages, the ultimate purpose of Blug is to run as a standalone process capable of 'psuedo-dynamic' site | ||
interaction. Today's blogs are static, so much so that static blog generation tools have become the new 'Create a Twitter Clone' | ||
for tutorials topics. I envision Blug as an intelligent agent, a daemon able to dynamically regenerate | ||
your site and insert content when triggered by external events. Stuff like dynamically re-generating a post to include a link | ||
to comments on your post on HackerNews or reddit when Blug sees this event has occurred. Or re-generating to scale back the included css/javascript when Blug sees your webserver is getting hammered. These are the kinds of things I'm interested in exploring. | ||
|
||
## Installation ## | ||
Blug currently requires no installation, though running ```python setup.py install``` | ||
will create 'install' the blug.py script. You can also get it from pip using ```pip install blug```. | ||
|
||
## Usage ## | ||
Edit the ```config.yaml``` file with values appropriate for your site. They should be pretty self-explanatory. | ||
Once done, place your posts in a directory called ```content``` (this is the default location Blug checks for | ||
posts). Each post follows the Octopress/Jekyll naming convention for posts: year-month-day-title-of-post-as-slug. | ||
Once you've got everything set up, there are three components to the ```blug.py``` script. | ||
|
||
### Creating a New Post ### | ||
```python blug.py post 'How Javascript is Ruining a Generation of Programmers' ``` This will create a new post | ||
in your ```content``` directory with the appropriate filename and yaml front matter. | ||
|
||
### Generating the Site ### | ||
```python blug.py generate``` This **deletes and regenerates the current generated content**. Run this whenever you | ||
make a change to a post or after finishing a new one. The output in the ```generated``` directory is the complete site. | ||
|
||
### Viewing Your Site Locally ### | ||
```python blug.py serve <port> <host> <path>``` This starts a webserver locally to allow you to preview your site. Use | ||
```generated``` as the ```path``` argument to serve files using your generated site as the root. | ||
|
||
## Coming Soon ## | ||
A number of features have either been committed or are in the process of being committed | ||
|
||
* **Live Mardown Post Editing**- Start up the included webserver and navigate to host:port/create to | ||
create a new post with live Markdown translation. In the left pane you enter normal Markdown test. The right | ||
pane is updated with the translated HTML in real time. No more regenerating your entire site just to see if you | ||
remembered how to do a nested list in Markdown. | ||
|
||
* **Git(hub)/Dropbox Integration**- Automatically deploy new posts and changes to your blog on the back of commits | ||
to your local git repository, commit to Github, or Dropbox file uploads | ||
|
||
* **The Blug Server**- The real reason I created Blug. Stay tuned. |
