# Owl Blogs
A simple web server for blogs generated from Markdown files
## Repository
A repository holds all data for a web server. It contains multiple users.
## User
A user has a collection of posts.
Each directory in the `/users/` directory of a repository is considered a user.
### User Directory structure
```
<user-name>/
\- public/
\- <post-name>
\- index.md
-- This will be rendered as the blog post.
-- Must be present for the blog post to be valid.
-- All other folders will be ignored
\- status.yml
-- Used to track various process status related to the post,
-- such as if a webmention was sent.
\- media/
-- Contains all media files used in the blog post.
-- All files in this folder will be publicly available
\- webmention/
\- <hash>.yml
-- Contains data for a received webmention
\- meta/
\- base.html
-- The template used to render all sites
\- VERSION
-- Contains the version string.
-- Used to determine compatibility in the future
\- config.yml
-- Contains settings global to the user.
-- For example: page title and style options
```
### Post
Posts are Markdown files with a mandatory metadata head.
- The `title` will be added to the web page and does not have to be reapeated in the body. It will be used in any lists of posts.
- `aliases` are optional. They are used as permanent redirects to the actual blog page.
