# simple-dev-blog-zola-starter
|
|
|
|
A simple dev-blog theme for Zola. It uses no JavaScript, prerenders links between navigation, blog posts and tags and adds common tags for SEO.
|
|
|
|
You can view it live [here](https://simple-dev-blog-zola-starter.netlify.app/).
|
|
|
|
## How to get started
|
|
|
|
To create a new Zola site, first download the CLI and install it on your system.
|
|
You can find installation instructions [on the Zola website](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/).
|
|
|
|
1. After you've installed the Zola CLI, run the following command to create a new site:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zola init my_amazing_site
|
|
cd my_amazing_site
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. After you've created the site, install the "Simple Dev Blog" theme like so:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone --depth=1 \
|
|
https://github.com/bennetthardwick/simple-dev-blog-zola-starter \
|
|
themes/simple-dev-blog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Now in your `config.toml` file, choose the theme by setting `theme = "simple-dev-blog"`.
|
|
|
|
4. This theme uses the `tags` taxonomy, in your `config.toml` file set `taxonomies = [ { name = "tags" } ]`
|
|
|
|
5. Copy across the default content from the theme by running `cp themes/simple-dev-blog/content/* ./content -r`
|
|
|
|
6. That's it! Now build your site by running the following command, and navigate to `127.0.0.1:111`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zola serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have a speedy simple dev blog up and running, have fun!
|
|
|
