[fastpages] GitHub Pages Blog Using Nbdev

What does it look like just curious? Share a screenshot?

This is just white on white, still figuring out the color but the idea is there :slight_smile: (and the title is still a little smaller)

Edit: cleaner version (at this point I’m messing around and playing with it still, but glad I was on the right track finally :slight_smile: )

FYI - I’m tracking this in https://github.com/fastai/fastpages/issues/128

No worries! I’m hoping it works smoothly, there is a chance it might not :crossed_fingers:

Looks like I got the 8 ball :confused:

Your version of fastpages is up to date. There is nothing to change.

I just bumped the version, try again?

Does Nbdev or fastpages support screenshot with this (paste a screenshot directly in a markdown cell, which will produce somethings like attachment:image.png)?

In jupyter notebook, if you turn the cell into a markdown cell, you can directly paste a screenshot into a cell without actually saving the image as a file separately. I think the notebook stored this screenshot directly in the notebook. However, since fastpages first convert a notebook to a markdown file, it looks like it cannot support these kind of screenshot.

This makes the blogging experience much more natural If I can just copy and paste an image without doing all the manual saving.


Btw, I used to post on Medium. It is great that I can basically just copy the entire page from the fastpages site to Medium (most markdown format, hyperlink are conserved!), but you may need to delete some empty newline

One thing I missed is that I can edit on Browser, as it allows me to use Grammarly to correct my mistakes, it seems not working well with notebook though.

Did you try including a screenshot ? What happened? I think it could already work in fastpages?

@hamelsmu is there something needed to get the subscription working? Currently it’ll return back a raw of the notebook (test at the bottom here): Example Blog

(BTW thank you for all your awesome help, the fact I got this all up and running in under an hour is amazing)

I have no idea how RSS subscriptions work. I googled this and maybe this helps? http://rss-tutorial.com/rss-how-to-subscribe-to-feeds.php

Let me know!

Here was my steps:

  1. Go to RSS Builder
  2. Include a link to the base page of your blog
  3. Select Strategy -> CSS Selector of an anchor tag
  4. The tag you want is .post-link
  5. Generate a preview to make sure it’s getting the blogs on your feed
  6. Generate the feed.

Afterwards, sign into your Google Account and copy the feed URL. I need to see how to properly embed this in (@hamelsmu you may know right away) and you should be good to go. Looks like (after inspecting) it expects a fastblog.xml file (my blog name.xml), which should point to the feed generated in the above link

Is it ok if I link to this post for the docs? Others will find this as useful too. Thanks for the writeup!

May I asked what is this for? The RSS works fine for me.

Simple directions to get the github pages (via the template) working for an RSS Feed.

Sure :slight_smile: Once we figure out how to actually get the right feed embedded I’ll edit it in :slight_smile:
