Tutorial: How to export your own full-featured website

  1. Optional: Go to BOILERPLATE > ANALYTICS > GTM_head_code and GTM_body_code paste your Google Tag Manager code inside the note.
  2. Go to Dashboard > Dash: Directories and set values for the seven notes.
  3. In Dashboard > Styles Dash, open the About note and type a short description of your blog.
  4. Open blogAboutNote and type a longer description of your blog. If you like, add a title for this page in the $DisplayExpression key attribute (blogAboutNote will change its display name).
  5. Now, make a new note inside of BlogPosts—your first category note. Give it a name.
  6. Now, make a new note inside the category note you just made—your first post. Give it a name and write it. When it’s ready for publication, check the tick-box next to $blogReady. ($blogReady is a key attribute. If it’s not visible at the top of the window, run the Keys•Basic stamp and it will appear.)
  7. For longer writing projects, make a PAGE. Paste your notes from another TBX into BlogPAGES and then set its $blogReady to true. Then set the prototype of its descendants to normal_note and you’re good to go!
  8. Delete the sample categories that come with BoxPress, or suppress their export by selecting them and running the ⬍ Export Self stamp.
  9. Export your blog by running File > Export > as HTML. Select BoxPressExport as your export folder. Click Export.
  10. Go the the Finder and open index.html, and you will be viewing your new home page!
