Start Blogging

  1. Ah Before, run the Podman container

    podman run -v .:/web/files -p 8000:8000 -v ./website:/web/site -it edthedev/mkdocs:latest

    Type serve and hit enter.

    Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

  2. Use any text editor to modify files in markdown_blog_template/blog

    • Files added to blog will be top level navigation links.
    • Use top level files sparingly, or the navigation bar will become crowded.
    • Files added to blog/posts become articles.
    • Use the filenames in blog/posts to control the display order.
    • Including the year, month and day in the filename can help order posts:
