Fork of underblog

Underblog

An extremely simple, fast static blog generator.

How it works

You only need 4 things:

1. index.html template for blog's index page.
2. post.html template for single post.
3. css/styles.css for CSS styles.
4. markdown folder.

There is no front-matter. Slug is derived from the filename and date is the last modification date of the file. Title is derived from the first line of markdown file. Make sure the first line starts with #.

Step 1: create the following folder structure:

.
├── css
│   └── styles.css
├── markdown
│   └── Slug_1.md
│   └── Slug_2.md
│   └── Slug_3.md
├── index.html
├── post.html

(See /example)

Step 2: run underblog.

Step 3: Your site is generated in public. Posts are ordered by last modification date.

Live preview

Run underblog in watch mode:

Then go to http://localhost:8080/. Changing markdown files will automatically re-generate the site.
