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:

• 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.

• Ask Asheesh to create the Nearly Free Speech.net site.
  • Hopefully this will have better instructions eventually
• Log into linode.com (username openhatch, password a terrible secret) and create a new CNAME record
  • Go to DNS manager and click 'Create new CNAME record'
  • Alias <campusname>.openhatch.org to oh<campusname>.nfshost.com
  • Also alias www.<campusname> to <campusname>
• SSH into linode
  • cp -a some_old_dir some_new_dir
  • cd some_new_dir
  • rm -rf data
  • git clone git://github.com/openhatch/oh-whatever-it-is.git data
  • edit and run ./update_and_push
