After some discussion over emails we both agreed that it seemed overkill to render the blog content twice (once for the XML feed itself and then again for all posts listed under <code>blog</code>). Performance wasn’t the initial goal when I first launched this project, but now that the dust has settled it seemed appropriate to go back and fix some things.</p> +<p><code>pblog</code> now only needs to render the blog posts found in the <code>posts</code> directory <em>once</em>. It still produces semantic XML and keeps the webview versions of the articles looking solid. Overall I’m pretty happy with this <em>little</em> improvement - it should pretty noticeable on projects rendering many posts.</p> +<h2 id="far-from-perfect">Far From Perfect</h2> +<p>This project is still very much in it’s infancy.

It will always have the most up-to-date information on getting started with <code>pblog</code>.</p> +<p><strong>Last Updated</strong>: July 27, 2022</p> +<hr /> +<p>Although this project was already <a href="/blog/pblog-launch.html">announced</a> a couple days ago, I thought it might be best to actually breakdown <code>pblog</code> into greater detail.</p> +<p>Enough chit-chat, let’s get into it!</p> +<h3 id="main-goal">Main Goal</h3> +<p>The entire purpose of <code>pblog</code> is to be as bare-bones as possible, while still maintaining a pleasant writing workflow. Users write their posts and pages in Markdown - <em>pblog</em> handles everything else:</p> +<ul> +<li>Posts and pages generated via Pandoc with minimal CSS</li> +<li>RSS feed at <code>feed.xml</code></li> +<li>Generated blog listing at <code>blog/index.html</code></li> +<li>Browser-styled XML (in supported browsers)</li> +</ul> +<h3 id="site-structure">Site Structure</h3> +<p>After you’ve cloned the <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/pblog">official pblog repo on sourcehut</a>, the next thing you should do is edit the main <code>_config.sh</code> file in the root directory. This will give you a better understanding of how everything is built.</p> +<p>Once generated, <em>pblog</em> structures the final website files as such:</p> +<pre class="shell"><code>_output/ + |__blog/ + |__index.html + |__blog-post-example.html + |__media/ + |__feed.xml + |__index.html + |__rss.xsl + |__style.css</code></pre> +<p>This structure is completely customizable by simply editing the <code>_config.sh</code> file (if you so desire).</p> +<h3 id="headers-and-footers">Headers and Footers</h3> +<p>By default <code>pblog</code> will add the header and footer includes to every individual post and page. To edit these, simply open the <code>_header.html</code> and <code>_footer.html</code> files respectively.</p> +<p><strong>Important</strong>: To avoid rendering issues DO NOT remove the included <code>article</code> opening and closing tags within those files. Everything else you can edit, remove, etc.</p> +<h3 id="posts-and-pages">Posts and Pages</h3> +<p>Posts and pages are written via Markdown inside the <code>posts</code> and <code>pages</code> folders respectively.</p> +<p>Individual posts require the following headers (take note of the date format):</p> +<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="pp">---</span></span> +<span id="cb2-2"><a href="#cb2-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="fu">title</span><span class="kw">:</span><span class="at"> Blog Title</span></span> +<span id="cb2-3"><a href="#cb2-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="fu">date</span><span class="kw">:</span><span class="at"> Mon, 04 Jul 2022</span></span> +<span id="cb2-4"><a href="#cb2-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="pp">---</span></span></code></pre></div> +<p>while individual pages only require a <code>title</code>:</p> +<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml"><span id="cb3-1"><a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="pp">---</span></span> +<span id="cb3-2"><a href="#cb3-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="fu">title</span><span class="kw">:</span><span class="at"> Page Title</span></span> +<span id="cb3-3"><a href="#cb3-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="pp">---</span></span></code></pre></div> +<p>This makes for an easier switch over from other SSG platforms like Jekyll or Hugo.</p> +<h3 id="the-build-process">The Build Process</h3> +<p>The main variables at the top of the <code>pblog.sh</code> file need to edited with your own details before generating your website. Those variables are fairly self-explanatory and simple to edit.</p> +<p>All you need to do now is run <code>make</code> (or <code>make serve</code> if you’re looking to test locally) and you’re done. Your website should now be fully generated inside the include <code>_output</code> directory. For quick reference:</p> +<ol type="1"> +<li><em>pblog</em> converts your Markdown posts into two variations of HTML +<ul> +<li>One is used specifically for rendering itself inside the RSS feed</li> +<li>The other is used for linking in a browser</li> +</ul></li> +<li>Next, <em>pblog</em> converts your Markdown pages into HTML</li> +<li>All of these generated HTML files are then moved to the <code>_output</code> folder</li> +</ol> +<p><em>pblog</em> is also smart enough to automatically generate a main blog list directory for you. This <code>index.html</code> file is placed inside the <code>_output/blog</code> folder on build. You can see an example of the blog list <a href="/blog">on this very website</a>.</p> +<h3 id="uploading-to-the-www">Uploading to the WWW</h3> +<p>Those with more experience will probably lean towards using a utility like <code>rsync</code> to sync the contents of their <code>_output</code> folder with their web server. For those with less experience, I recommend using something like <a href="https://app.netlify.com/drop">Netlify Drop</a> to make things as friction-less as possible.</p> +<h3 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping Up</h3> +<p>There isn’t much else to say. <code>pblog</code> is as static or flexible as you chose it to be. If you have any ideas on how to improve things or come across any bugs, please <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/pblog">open a ticket or PR on the official repo</a>.</p> +<p>Thanks and happy blogging with <em>pblog</em>!</p> +</article><!-- Do not remove this closing article element --> + +<!-- Content placed here will appear directly before the closing </body> tag --> +<footer> + <br> + <hr> + <p><small>Powered by <a href="https://pblog.bt.ht">pblog</a><br> + Made with ♥ for a simpler web.</small></p> +</footer> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_output/blog/pblog-launch.html b/_output/blog/pblog-launch.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..754aff0 --- /dev/null +++ b/_output/blog/pblog-launch.html @@ -0,0 +1,54 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en_US" xml:lang="en_US"> +<head> + <meta charset="utf-8" /> + <meta name="generator" content="pandoc" /> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes" /> + <title>Announcing pblog</title> + <style> + code{white-space: pre-wrap;} + span.smallcaps{font-variant: small-caps;} + div.columns{display: flex; gap: min(4vw, 1.5em);} + div.column{flex: auto; overflow-x: auto;} + div.hanging-indent{margin-left: 1.5em; text-indent: -1.5em;} + ul.task-list{list-style: none;} + ul.task-list li input[type="checkbox"] { + width: 0.8em; + margin: 0 0.8em 0.2em -1.6em; + vertical-align: middle; + } + .display.math{display: block; text-align: center; margin: 0.5rem auto;} + </style> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../style.css" /> + <!--[if lt IE 9]> + <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/3.7.3/html5shiv-printshiv.min.js"></script> + <![endif]--> +</head> +<body> +<!-- Content placed here will appear directly after the opening <body> tag --> +<nav> + <a href="/">Home</a><span> / </span> + <a href="/blog">Blog</a><span> / </span> + <a href="/tweaks.html">Tweaks</a><span> / </span> + <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/pblog">Download</a> +</nav> +<!-- Do not remove this opening article element --> +<article> +<header id="title-block-header"> +<h1 class="title">Announcing pblog</h1> +<p class="date">Thu, 30 Jun 2022</p> +</header> +<p>It’s time to celebrate!

This became more of a headache than I initially estimated - so it was dropped from this patch. My hope is to get something up-and-running in the near future, while avoiding the inclusion of yet another major dependency. Anyone more experienced than myself in the ways of “auto rebuilds” is free to open a patch if they so desire!</p> +<p>Thanks for your interest in these minor updates!</p> +<p>P.S. Don’t forget - if your website runs on <code>pblog</code> be sure to reach out and get it featured on the <a href="/">homepage</a>!</p> +</article><!-- Do not remove this closing article element --> + +<!-- Content placed here will appear directly before the closing </body> tag --> +<footer> + <br> + <hr> + <p><small>Powered by <a href="https://pblog.bt.ht">pblog</a><br> + Made with ♥ for a simpler web.</small></p> +</footer> +</body> +</html> |
