Static site hosting/create

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>
