Basic Structure (reference)

A Shock blog consists of the following simple directory structure:

.
├── content
│   ├── post1.html
│   └── post2.html
├── index.json
├── static
│   ├── some.css
│   └── more.js
└── templates
    ├── 404.html    # 404 page
    ├── footer.html # footer (convenient for copyright...)
    ├── header.html # header
    ├── home.html   # index.html = homepage (list posts here)
    └── post.html   # actual post page

This can be generated automagically using shock init.

Hints

• In shock newpost, leave author and date blank for reasonable defaults to be filled in.
