Instructions

To get this base blog online you'll need to:

1. Get Billy to give you your own copy of this repo
   • You probably already have this
   • You'll have picked a unique domain name too
2. Signup to Heroku
3. Create an app on Heroku
   • Use the European region when asked
4. Connect your Heroku account to your Github account
5. Connect your Heroku app to your Github repo
6. Enable automatic deploys
7. Make a change to your repo (using the Github editor)
8. Visit your Heroku app's settings and add a custom domain
   • add your personal CodeGuild domain
   • e.g. wm.codeguild.co
9. Visit your domain and see your blog!

Adding Posts

1. Create a file for your new post in web/views/posts
2. Update web/views/layout.html to include your new post
3. Update web/views/index.twig to include your new post

It's easy, but boring. You should try using PHP (and Silex) to automate these steps (be lazy!).
