Making changes to the blog

This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.

We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.

When making changes to the blog, keep the following notes in mind:

Server facts

• The blog runs as www-data on linode.openhatch.org
• It lives in /var/www/blog/

Sanity checklist

If you've made some changes to the blog backend, GET the following resources using wget and make sure they don't fail:

• http://openhatch.org/blog/
• https://openhatch.org/blog/
• https://openhatch.org/blog/2012/portland-python-workshop-wrap-up/
• http://openhatch.org/blog/2012/portland-python-workshop-wrap-up/

Do a GET of them in a web browser, too, to make sure the styling looks okay.

Then, log into the backend:

• https://openhatch.org/blog/wp-login.php

Make sure it still accepts your admin username and that clicking around the admin doesn't show any obvious problems.
