README
November 11, 2008
I finally got around to building a README for how to deploy this blog on your own Google App Engine account.
Source: http://github.com/bgolub/blog/tree/master How to Deploy: 1) Get a Google App Engine account at http://appengine.google.com 2) Create a new application. Note your application identifier. 3) Edit the included app.yaml.sample: i) Change the text APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER to the application identifier created in step 2. ii) Rename it to app.yaml 4) Edit the included settings.py.sample: i) Variables are self explanatory. ii) Rename it to settings.py 5) Edit base.html to make it your own (optional). 6) Deploy! i) Via command line: Move to the directory containing app.yaml and do "appcfg.py update ." ii) Via GoogleAppEngineLauncher (for Mac): Drag the directory onto the window, click on the app, hit deploy! 7) Start blogging by visiting http://your_blog_url/new i) That will prompt you for your Google Account. Login with the same one you use to login to http://appengine.google.com. Only that account can add/edit/delete posts. 8) Let me know that you're using it :) [email protected]
