== sheBe sheBe is a Simple HEroku Blogging Engine. More info about heroku here, http://heroku.com

Features:

• Ultra simple blogging engine that you can clone and deploy to heroku in less then a minute
• Uses textile for blog posts
• Supports tagging of posts
• Supports RSS out of the box
• Super minimalist white page look - see http://blog.cbright.co.uk for an example
• All done in HAML - for info at http://haml-lang.com/

This documentation assumes that you already have a Heroku account setup.

== Initial Setup It takes 7 commands and less than a minute to get started:

git clone [email protected]:chris-cbright/sheBe.git sheBe cd sheBe heroku create git push heroku master heroku rake db:migrate heroku restart heroku open

But you'll probably want to change the default admin cookie and password, otherwise anyone can login. You need to manually edit the file /config/appconfig.yml to do this:

admin_cookie: "replace_this" admin_password: "replace_this"

• Change admin_cookie to a hard to guess random string - if you like, go to script/console and enter ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.hex(16) , then copy and paste into the file.

• Change admin_password to your favourite password

== Use of sheBe

• The admin login is at /login. By default admin stays logged in for 1 year.
• Everything else should be self-explanatory

== Adding Google Analytics to sheBe Modify the template at /app/views/layouts/application.html.haml, cutting and pasting your tracker code as in this example:
