To create an event webpage in the style of this one:
- Building the website
- Create an organization for the school, for example: oh-hogwarts. Make sure the hello@ email address is used for account name.
- Fork the template repository into the organization account and rename to be a github.io page, for example: oh-hogwarts.github.io
- Edit the CNAME record in the template to redirect to the appropriate domain name, for example: hogwarts.openhatch.org
- 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 domain name with cloudflare.com
- Log into cloudflare.com (username openhatch) and create a new CNAME record
- Go to "DNS Settings" (it's an option in the drop-down in the right-most column)
- Scroll to bottom of page to add two new records:
- Type: CNAME
- Alias <campusname>.openhatch.org to oh-<campusname>.github.io
- Also alias www.<campusname> to <campusname>
- Log into cloudflare.com (username openhatch) and create a new CNAME record
