About This Site

This site is completely produced without any sort of dynamic content generation. That means no PHP, no Java, no ASP.NET and no Python. Nothing but pure, static HTML.

In order to keep the maintenence of the site manageable a set of tools are used to operate on the static files. Those tools need the following information to help them perform their work effectively:

BASE_URLBase URL of the live sitehttp://jimmyg.org/
REMOTE_SCPPublication SCP Pathjimmyg-live@188.40.40.131:lib/JimmygSite/code/trunk/jimmygsite/static
SITE_ROOTSite Root./
PHOTO_DIRECTORYBase directory for binary photosbin/photos

BLOG_DIRECTORIESBlog directory for the blogblog/
BLOG_TITLEBlog titleBlog
BLOG_HEADINGBlog headingJames Gardner's Blog
BLOG_TEMPLATEBlog templateTemplates/jimmyg.dwt
DEFAULT_TEMPLATEDefault templateTemplates/jimmyg.dwt

This file serves to explain how the site is structured as well as to provide the information the tools require.
