Nanoc 4.3.7 almost at my reach

Dunno why I thought a "site generator" would create navis or indices of the pages created – I must be crazy!

Ok so I want a simple blog/publishing thing. I know I want the site in different sections, with bunch of writing and media.

I chose nanoc 'cause the gem installs on kapsi. Well it seems proper, I have base site together. The documentation is somewhat good but omits the important recommendation to use bundler - or the gems you use with the site generator need to be managed manually.

Nanoc does not generate navigation-menus, site-index or other menus or list of the content you have created by default anywhere. It comes with some "blogging"-helpers.

Ok, now I want to learn more. Such is life, more hours have passed me by.

Futu-styled Layout CSS

Ok this what I do best, and all of the layout and styles here done in first couple of hours – no design or wireframes, just CSS code – love it or leave it! ❤❤❤ I like text-editors and terminals and it shows here.

Styles for header, titles, and code sections created! Using the finest HTML5 document structure and tags, no animals were harmed.

Hand-made in Helsinki!❤❤

Yet more things todo

To have nanoc rsync the outputted site, edit target in nanoc.yml and simply $ nanoc deploy.
