This is the obligatory “Hello World!” post
To get here and create your own blog using octopress, follow the instructions below:
- Install ruby, as explained on the guide here
- I’ve used Ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x64-mingw32]
(
ruby --version
) - Configure your blog. See here
- Install octopress:
rake install
- Start the server with
rake preview
. You should see a basic template (CSS) with your blog name, the author, etcetera - Create your first post.
rake new_post["Hello World!"]
-
Refresh the browser and see the new post appear
-
Edit the .markdown file in “source\_posts” using a markup editor
-
Execute
rake preview
to see your first post (this) -
Execute
rake setup_github_pages
for every computer you want to publish from -
Execute
rake generate && rake deploy
. After a few minutes, you should go to .github.io to find your new blog in there -
Happy blogging!
