Contributing to the REST cookbook

---------------------------------

The [REST cookbook website](http://restcookbook.com) uses [Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki), a simple yet powerful blog engine that easily allows for creating simple websites like these.

Contributing to our site is simple:

  * Fork the website to your own github account.

  * Clone your repository onto your computer. Make sure you create a new branch, and not use the master branch.

  * Create a new page inside the /_posts/* directory. This HAS GOT TO BE IN THE FORMAT OF YEAR-MONTH-DAY-FILENAME.html!!!

  * Add and commit your changes, and push it to your repository.

  * Create a pull request and we will try and merge your recipe.

Creating a new page

===================

As said, a page must be placed in the _post directory, and in the year-month-day-filename.html format. Otherwise it

wont get picked up by the system. Every post should look somewhat like this:

    ---

    layout: recipe

    title: 

    category: 

    author: 

    author_email: 

    ---

    
Title


    
Your recipe


The author_email address is optional. Make sure the category name is one of the existing category names (case matters),

otherwise your posting will be added inside a new topic. If you have troubles creating a new page, take a look at one

of the existing pages, or ask us for help.

Regenerating a new site

=======================

There are two ways to display your new site:

Run as a standalone webserver:

  * Start jekyll in your repository root with: `jekyll server`

  * Browse to http://:4000 to see your site

Run inside an existing webserver:

  * Make sure your use the _site directory as your document root

When you make changes, you need to regenerate your website. This can be done by running jekyll without any parameters.

This regenerates the _site directory.
