Usage

First, you need to create a new blog:

$ socrates -i blog

This will create a blog directory with a simple blog structure:

blog
    posts
        2010-your-post.md
    layout
        index.html
        single.html
        category.html
        ...
    media
        style.css
    config.yaml
    about.md

The posts directory is where you will place your posts files. Anything prefixed with _ or . will be ignored. layout is your basic theme or a template. config.yaml is a site-wide configuration file. Don’t forget to update the about file with relevant information.

You can also create a new blog in the current working directory:

$ socrates -i

When you are ready to generate your site, you run:

$ socrates -g blog

Or,

$ socrates -g

for current directory.

This will place all the generated files in blog/deploy. You can then take that directory and upload it to your server.
