This is r1k's fork of [lb](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/lb) CSS used is the dark mode of [Simple.css](https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css) Below is the original README from the github repo: # lb and sup -- Luke's Blog Script and Site Updater Blogs and RSS feeds in less than 100 SLOC. `lb` stands for whatever. Maybe "Luke's blog", maybe "lightweight blog", maybe "less bloat", doesn't matter that much. [Video Showcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1WQlr42xDM) I've also added `sup`, which is even more minimal and focused on old-school static websites with no blog, but a need for a site updater! See it at the bottom of this README. Both `lb` and `sup` are mutually compatible and you can use them both on the same site and even feed into the same RSS feed. `lb` makes new blog posts which go to make standalone pages, a rolling blog file and an RSS entry. `sup`, on the other hand, is if you manually add a new page to your website and want to make people know about that change. It can be run multiple times on a page for each time it is updated. ## `lb` Features `lb` is an extremely small shell script that lets you write blog posts and will format them in all the ways you could ever want. Here's what it will produce: - A Rolling Blog Page. See [my own Rolling Page](https://lukesmith.xyz/blog.html) as an example. - A list of all blog entries with dates: [Blog List File](https://lukesmith.xyz/blogindex.html). - All your blog posts appear as standalone entries/pages, for example [like this one](https://lukesmith.xyz/blog/the-real-bronze-age-mindset.html). - These standalone files exist in a `blog/` directory, which you can allow to be browsed manually via your Apache web server as I have [here](http://lukesmith.xyz/blog). - Blog posts are added, in full form, to an RSS feed of your chosing as well, see [my RSS feed](https://lukesmith.xyz/rss.xml). - Posts in the rolling blog have divs that can easily be modified via a CSS stylesheet, and in general everything is easily editable. - One command to delete published entries from the RSS feed, rolling blog and standalone entries simultaneously. - Published blog entries can now be revised, updating the standalone blog pages, the RSS feed and everything else. ## Usage `lb` commands are all one letter cause I'm lazy. They all stand for something though. ```sh ./lb n(ew) # Make a new blog post draft. ./lb e(dit) # Edit a draft of an entry. ./lb t(rash) # Delete a draft of an entry. ./lb p(ublish) # Finalize/publish a blog post draft. ./lb d(elete) # Delete a published blog post. ./lb r(evise) # Revise an already published entry (you can republish it with `lb p` when done) ``` ## Installation + bash and GNU sed is required. >inb4 bloat + Be sure that you own or have writing privileges in the given directory, so the script can create the required directory structure. + Download the `lb` script and put it in your website's main directory. The expectation is that your rolling blog file and RSS feed will be there as well. + Open the script and change the first few variables to match the names of the files you use in your website. + Add markers for where the new blog posts are added. **Don't skip this step.** See below. ### Markers For the system to work, add the following comment line to a (1) Rolling Blog File (as above), a (2) Blog List File and (3) RSS feed. ``` ``` You can format these files/pages how ever you want, just be sure to edit the `lb` file and change the variables at the top to match the file names of those you chose. When you `finalize` a blog post, it will be added directly below that line in the proper format (either HTML or the proper RSS/XML format), give you the rolling blog and RSS feed for free. ## Info - The blog entries are stored in `blog/` in your websites root directory. Drafts are in `blog/.drafts`. - `blog/.htaccess` acts as a "database" file. `lb` stores filenames with their corresponding proper names and publishing dates there. - The other files in this repo just illustrate how you can use `lb`. Only the `lb` script itself is necessary. - Your `$EDITOR` variable should be set to your preferred text editor, vim will be assumed if you don't have one set. # `sup` -- Site updater or "What'**s up**?" If having a "blog" is too cringe for you and you just want an RSS feed where you can post updates about recently changed pages, use `sup`. Let's say you make a page called `favorite-programs.html`. Just run `sup favorite-programs.html` and that new page's content will be added to the RSS feed. Specifically, `sup` will get only the `` tag, but also exclude the `
