<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p>Hosting isn't really a problem but an interesting link there. <br>
</p>
<p>Any other tips?</p>
<p>If there aren't any offers of direct help I'll probably just keep
plugging away Hugo at it and report back. It does look quite
doable tbh. But just would prefer a bit of guidance, especially as
to what could go wrong, or how to make it future proof. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
Mick<br>

<div>You don't even need hosting, you can run a static site
direct from github/gitlab to Netlify who will host it for
free. It's really straightforward to set up, consider trying a
premade theme and putting it up.</div>

there,<br>
<br>
I'm looking for help to create a static site based on markdown
files for<br>
an archive of earth first action updates.<br>
<br>
Aussie John (schnews) is busy OCRing a lot of printed
materials, and<br>
making pdf scans too, he is a real work horse!<br>
<br>
I'm providing some hosting and keep that this is a very future
proof<br>
format. So would like the text to be in md files rather than
HTML<br>
<br>
I think I may be able to create some kind of basic hugo /
jekyll site,<br>
but really would prefer to support someone else with more
experience to<br>
do the starting structure and get that up and running in a
gitlab /<br>
github repo.<br>
<br>
I could then step in to host, and help John do updates. <br>
<br>
This is a great project for someone with good web-dev skills
looking to<br>
do a tester project in new static site building<br>
OR ideally someone who has been working in this way recently.<br>
<br>
As mentioned John will be doing the heavy lifting here so this
is a<br>
potentially quite fun and very productive volunteer job.<br>
<br>
Please do get in touch with me if you can help direct. OR post
back to<br>
the list if you have general tips about you think it would be
good to do<br>
it in terms of the tech used or other tips. <br>
<br>
nice one<br>
Mick<br>
