<p>Of course this is only to a point. A blog for example is simple a bunch of static pages with some JS, CSS and HTML easy peasy you're good to go. You want a full LAMP stack and complete server side control.. well... this solution is probably not for you. </p>

<p>What I wanted to write in as my first post though was how I set this little corner of the web up. It was fun, quick, and REALLY easy to do and I thought I'd share how I did it.</p>

<h2>What You'll Need</h2>
|
|
<p>For this particular set up I am standing on the back of several technologies.
|
|
1. <a href="https://git-scm.com/">Git</a>
|
|
2. <a href="https://github.com/">Github</a> (no way out of this unfortunately)
|
|
3. <a href="https://www.python.org/">Python</a> (I'm using 3.8 but I'm sure most 3+ version will work)
|
|
4. <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/">Bash</a> (I build this on my linux laptop but WSL or MacOS should work more or less the same)
|
|
5. <a href="https://github.com/getpelican/pelican">Pelican</a></p>
|
|
<p>I won't go through how to install these as those links have much more thorough documentation I could ever provide. So from here on out I will assume you have configured and installed all the prereqs!</p>
