Categories
Next, use categories (= keywords, tags) to group posts into topics, in octopress.
Categories should be listed in the header of a page. rake new_post['page name']
creates a heading in the poster for doing this. To input more than one category, or a category consisting of more than one word, use one of the formats explained in following example from http://octopress.org/docs/blogging/ :
Take Care to Run Rake Generate
Summary (“TL;DR”)
- Must be careful to always run
rake generate
beforerake deploy
. - GitHub takes some time to update site after each push.
Including Gists and Other Code
Embedding code, by pasting, including files, including gists in the octopress blog. Here are some notes about styles and ways of quoting code, and a test.
Checking Rake Deploy on GitHub
Update: rake gen_deploy
generates and then deploys the site.
Had to remove the repository and create it again. Creating the README on github messed things up.
Result: Need to first run rake generate
and then rake deploy
to updates + publish the site. rake deploy
alone leaves posts in an unformatted state. (Why?)
Installing Site on Github
Installing the site on github was easy, using the instructions from the octopress site.
The site is now on the earlab organization page.
