Below are the procedures on how to use the blog-generator to create a new blog
Generating JSON file for the blog content
Inside the JSON file and filling in the details
HTML template changes and modifying all blogs
Generate the json file to put the blog contents. Run new-blog.py and add the url to your new blog.
> python new-blog.py new-blog
This creates the file new-blog.json
The generated json file will look as follows:
{
"url": "new-blog",
"blog_image": "",
"tags" : [],
"title" : "",
"body" : []
}| key | what to add | example |
|---|---|---|
url |
this is automatically generated | |
blog_image |
a file name that exists in the blogs/images folder NOTE: only one image can be added to every blog post | "new_blog_image.jpg" |
tags |
a list of tags for the blog post | ["android", "music", "travel"] |
title |
The title of the blog post | "New Blog" |
body |
The main content of the blog. Each paragraph should be a separate element in the list | ["This is paragraph 1", "This is paragraph2"] |
Once filling in the json is completed, the next step is to generate the html file for the blog page. To do so, run add-blog.py and add the same url to your blog.
> python add-blog.py new-blog
The url to the new blog post will now be "website.com/blogs/new-blog>"
In case you want to update the look of each page, it can easily be done by modifying the blog-template.template file. Once it is updated, you can easily update all blog posts by running
> python modify-blogs.py
