Blue Ice

How it Works

The process is simple:

• BlueIce uses folders and text files to build your site.
• The structure of your site is determined by the folders.
• Your pages are created using text files formatted with Markdown Extra syntax.
• These files are rendered into HTML.

Don't let the simplicity fool you, though. Through the use of placeholders, plugins, and page data the system is very powerful.

Content

A new page is created by creating a new text file, and naming it with an .md file extension. The URL structure of your site matches the folder/file heirarchy exactly.

The content file follows a simple format, where each page of your site is written out in plain text, Markdown, or HTML.

Templates

Templates are written in plain html. No PHP or templating language, and very little technical knowledge is needed to make them work.

The BlueIce installation process is just as easy.
