First Site Build
Core Idea
Your first public page proves the full source-to-output loop works.
Markdown source -> build-website -> generated HTML -> HTTPS URL
Course URL
Your first public page uses this shape:
https://lf2607.kolamayermakers.org/~username/
What To Verify
- Source exists under
~/src/pages. build-websitefinishes without an error.- Generated HTML exists under
~/public_html. - The HTTPS URL returns your page.
Proof Commands
test -d ~/src/pages
build-website
test -f ~/public_html/index.html
curl -I https://lf2607.kolamayermakers.org/~username/
Replace username with your course username in the URL. A 200 status means the web server returned the page path successfully.
Docs Pointers
- Read build-website, Markdown basics, filesystem as CMS, and platform reference.
