pull requests to get the updates pushed to the main page. It is
using Jeckyl for display with the blueprint css layout
framework.</p>

<p>maybe a little more "manual" than a blog interface, but still
pretty easy to update once you get how it works. Check out the
examples page for an idea of how to layout a sub-page.</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T18:59:02Z2010-01-10T18:59:02ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>I was thinking of hooking a link into the site and using a
blogger for all<br>
that magic, but then, I realise this leaves you with one more
resource under<br>
a different 'scm' - in this case the blogging app. To that end,
I'll try<br>
your suggestion and see what i come up with, then send a pull
request for<br>
your review.</p></div>Rasheed Abdul-Aziztag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T19:06:13Z2010-01-10T19:06:13ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>cool, let mee know if you have an questions regarding the
system. It actually has a blogging component to it, but I haven't
really investigated it. it is a bit different than say a WordPress
or Blogger in that you blog via text files.</p>
<p>It is actually fairly easy to maintain as it is and has the
advantage of being version controlled and completely static. To run
a PHP (or whatever) blog we'd have to use a sub-domain, and Shaun
has (valid) issues with installing any of the larger PHP based
blogging engines on his server.</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T19:30:45Z2010-01-10T19:30:45ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>No problems, and I've had a little experience with jekyll
anyhoo. Just need<br>
to work out how to make the blog articles be somewhere other than
the main<br>
page.</p></div>Rasheed Abdul-Aziztag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T20:39:52Z2010-01-10T20:39:52ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>Joel, I've committed a possible scenario to my fork:<br>

http://github.com/squeedee/robotlegs.github.com/commit/83ff1331041dfe25957d95767698a094652c6e08</a>This<br>
is just one way that adding blog posts can be tackled.</p>
<p>The typical jeckyll stuff:<br>
<em>layouts/post.html is the template for each
post.<br></em>posts/community/* are the posts that get generated.
Notice they have<br>
categories, one is community, which we use to seperate them, the
other is a<br>
more typical tag like "screencast, tutorial, demo, documentation,
diagram,<br>
article, etc.."</p>
<p>The not typical stuff:<br>
Rakefile<br>
tags/*</p>
<p>The Rakefile task creates the tags/* files by iterating the
posts on the<br>
site. I'm thinking I'll use a list for inclusion eg: [community] to
begin<br>
with, so that tag list pages aren't generated for every tag.</p>
<p>I just wanted to flick you this example so you could comment
before I go<br>
further.</p></div>Rasheed Abdul-Aziztag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T22:33:18Z2010-01-10T22:33:18ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>That looks excellent. You can use the /examples page as a
template I think. Will the github pages make use of the rakefile?
It sounds like you have more experience with this than I do.</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the initiative. I'll have to send you a
Robotlegs Nerd Merit Badge when they come in ;)</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T23:06:04Z2010-01-10T23:06:04ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>The rake task is stupid (I have decided).</p>
<p>I'll commit what i'm doing shortly. It turns out I can scan the
category<br>
posts in a template page /community/index.html - this is much nicer
I think.</p>
<p>I'm working on having this page show the latest posts and then
linking the<br>
older stuff. I'll need a little help with layout and the css engine
I think<br>
because that's where my nerdishness drops off (I started with Flash
a long<br>
time ago to avoid html/css :P )</p></div>Rasheed Abdul-Aziztag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T23:09:22Z2010-01-10T23:09:22ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>ha! me too. Blueprint actually curbed my general hatred of CSS a
bit. let me know when you get it to a decent spot and I will have a
go at some layout. That should give you a good idea of how to
proceed with it</p></div>Joel Hookstag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-10T23:45:58Z2010-01-10T23:45:58ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p><a href=

you have the energy to stylize it somewhat, I think this is an
adequate<br>
beginning.</p>
<p>A tag cloud needs adding at some point but I don't think that's
critical.</p>
<p>When it's a little prettier I'll request submissions from the
google group<br>
and via the #robotlegs hashtag and start updating the posts</p></div>Rasheed Abdul-Aziztag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-11T02:31:34Z2010-01-11T02:31:36ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>great job Rasheed ! I love your idea.<br>
I'm also available if u need any help so let me know. ( i haven't
had the chance to dig into git yet but will do if needed).</p></div>Andrei TTtag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/8316592010-01-11T08:29:06Z2010-01-11T08:29:06ZCommunity Resource Page<div><p>Rasheed ,<br>
That’s an excellent idea. It will be a great contribution to
the Robotlegs community. You deserve more than a
NerdMeritBadge:)</p></div>Ondina D.F.
