Blogging

I wrote my home page with various tools …

Pure HTML

At the beginning, I used HTML and .shtml include files

Apache was told to process html include files, and I had the boilerplate and bottom in such files and included them from the per-page HTML files.

Webber

Later I switched to Webber. That was a python written open-source software that I published on gitorious.org. The original gitorious is now down, but you find the git tree still at https://gitorious.org/webber/webber, where an archive team resurrected the public git trees.

When you run

hugo server

the static web-site generator Hugo creates a local server that you can use to fine-tune your pages. Hugo sits and watches your content and layout directory for any changes. Whenever a file changes, it re-renders the pages and even tells your browser to live-relead the pages.

Very nice.

Except that it doesn’t work with Emacs. But there’s a cure.
