Static site hosting/create

''Note: This guideline is written by Shauna, for Shauna. You will likely have to adapt it to your needs/permissions - please do contact us if you need help!''

To create an event webpage in the style of this one:


 * Building the website
 * Fork the template repository (as Github limits the number of forks an individual can make of a single repo, you may need to fork a different oh-campus site or email Github to request your previous forks be made free-standing repositories.)
 * Customize
 * Change repository name to reflect event
 * Change colors if needed (I like to use school colors)
 * Change text: date, time, location, name of hosts
 * Create a new sign up form for the event (may just duplicate previous ones) and change the link on the website.
 * Add, commit, and push changes back to Github.
 * Set up NearlyFreeSpeech.net site
 * Visit https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/
 * Log in as Asheesh (paulproteus) by clicking "Member Login", etc. (sadly I think only Asheesh can do this due to nfs.net permissions)
 * Click "Accounts" in top nav
 * Click "OpenHatch" account
 * Click "Create a new site"
 * Type oh-university_name in the site name field
 * Enter university_name.openhatch.org in the "User another name" form
 * Choose "Static content, stochastic" as site type
 * Click "Create now"
 * Visit the site's admin panel in NFS.net, and then "Add a new alias"
 * Add www.university_name.openhatchorg as an alias
 * Set up domain name with linode.com
 * Log into linode.com (username openhatch) and create a new CNAME record
 * Go to DNS manager and click 'Create new CNAME record'
 * Alias .openhatch.org to oh .nfshost.com
 * Also alias www. to
 * SSH into linode
 * cp -a old_dir new_dir
 * cd new_dir
 * rm -rf data
 * git clone git://github.com/openhatch/oh-whatever-it-is.git data
 * edit and run ./update_and_push
 * row 6: change url
 * row 15: change ssh command
