### About

My website, [vickysteeves.com](http://vickysteeves.com), upgraded from coding-by-hand (n00b) to [Nikola](https://getnikola.com/), a static site generator.

### Building

This site relies on Python and [Nikola](https://getnikola.com/), a static site generator.

I would recommend you use a virtualenv to build and view this website. This is a Python tool to create isolated Python environments. The HitchHiker's Guide to Python has a [great guide](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) on virtual environments that I used to learn how to use/interact with virtualenvs. 

Here's how to make and activate a virtual environment:

# install the tool virtualenv

$ pip install virtualenv


# create the Python 3 virtual environment

$ virtualenv -p python3 my-website

# activate the virtual environment

$ source my-website/bin/activate



Now, you can get started and install all of the dependecies of my website!

# install the dependencies

$ pip install Nikola['extras']


# clone this repo

$ git clone [email protected]:VickySteeves/personal-website.git

# change directory (cd) so you are in the right folder for the website

$ cd personal-website

# build the website

$ nikola build

# see the website

$ nikola serve -b



You should now be able to see and interact with my website locally!
