You've created your Svekyll blog on ExtraStatic. Now what? How do you add posts to it?
There are a few ways to do that. The "power user" way is to create posts using an editor on your laptop. To do that, you will need to clone the repository, install NodeJS (if you don't already have this) and then run the app in dev mode which allows you to make changes and see them update in your browser in real time.
(If you want a simpler way to add posts, you can use Creator to create drafts, publish drafts, and access preview pages. You can also create drafts over email. But, this post is about editing on your laptop.)
To start, go to ExtraStatic.dev. If you have not yet forked Svekyll, do that.
Once you have it forked, you then need to clone the repository. You will need to have GIT installed to do this. If you don't yet have that, go here: https://git-scm.com/downloads
Then, clone the repository you just forked inside a terminal.
Make sure to use HTTPS, not GIT. SSH+GIT is currently disabled on ExtraStatic.dev.
Then, make sure you have NodeJS installed. If not, install it https://nodejs.org/en/download/. Anything above version 14 is fine.
Once the repository is cloned, run these commands
$ npm install $ npm run dev
Your blog will then be live, and you can access it at http://localhost:3000!
Unfortunately, at this point, your blog is pretty boring because it has no posts.
Now, add a post. Create a file using whatever editor you want with the name src/routes/2021-11-16-hello.md. You can name it anything you want inside the src/routes directory, either a file with the date, or without the date.
src/routes/2021-11-16-hello.md
src/routes
The file contents should be like this:
```
