In response to concerns expressed about the difficulty of using Notenik as a static site generator, I’ve come up with a more detailed how-to:

I’d appreciate hearing any feedback anyone has on this.

Thanks!

excellent tutorial.

I’ll just note that it doesn’t include instructions for copying images into the web folders. Which is what tripped me up for a long time.

You’re absolutely right, of course.

I’ve update the tutorial.

You can now find the updated version here.

See the new Chapter 13.

Note that I’m also making some improvements to Notenik around website building that will be out soon in a new release, including improvements to the Website starter pack.

Thanks for all your helpful feedback, @Malcolm!

This is cool. I look forward to the upcoming improvements. It’s good to see development heading in this direction.

To whoever is interested, here’s some links that may be of aid that correspond with some chapters in the guide.

  • https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net – Another web hosting service with good prices.
  • https://www.htmlforpeople.com – This web book is more about coding a website from the ground up, but teaches some good HTML basics along the way with some CSS included. It could provide some helpful pointers for writing templates for site generation.
  • MDN Web Docs – This is the apparent go-to source for documentation on HTML, CSS and Javascript.
  • WorldWideWeb • A Web Server for Developers – This is a useful app for running a local web server. Free, but the paid version provides auto reload.
  • Build and Deploy Websites Automatically with Git – This is a blog post that describes how to use a git hook to automatically deploy your webpages on to a server. It’s targeted for more technical users, but for those who are familiar with version control already, this may be of use.
