Overview

If you want to be a baller-ass bitch and contribute to the site in any way, you can simple go here, enter the password that Dakota provided you, and edit away! For the want-to-know'ers, this is running a Web Version of VSCode, that is automatically configured to attach to the web folder.

The site is updated in real time, so whenever you make changes from the Code Server, it is automatically updated on the site! Feel free to try it here! Add something random to this page as a test!

If you want to just get started with a template, you can copy the template at /static/templates/pageTemplate.html and use that as a jumping-off point.

HTML Basics

If you are unfamilar with HTML and CSS, its truly quite simple. Think about editing a text document in something like Word or Google Docs. In Docs, if you want to edit how text looks, you select the text, then press some kind of button to format that text - underline, bold, italic, font, etc. In HTML, you are doing the same thing, but you use tags to do it instead of pressing buttons. For example, to create a paragragh in HTML, you use the '<p>' tag. Then you type the paragraph you want to write, then close the paragraph with a '</p>' tag, this encloses the text into the paragraph. This same principal applies to most formatting options: Headers are done with '<h1>', underline is '<u>', so on and so forth.

Here is an example of basic HTML that will create a title, and a short paragraph:

<h2>Hello! This is a test title</h1>
<p>I now have a paragraph, and can even <u>underline my text</u> :O</p>
                    

This renders out to:
