+# lijero.co
+
+This repo contains the entirety of my website, https://lijero.co.
+It is posed in hopes that other people may find my build system useful.
+In addiition, it gives an easy mechanism to submit corrections
+to the content itself, such as fixing typos or minor details.
+Hypothetically, it is even possible community-contributed content
+might one day be submitted.
+
+## Repository Layout
+
+* `/templates/html-generator/` is a git submodule pointing to https://github.com/lijerom/html-generator
+and will continue to do so until `html-generator` is released on Hackage,
+if it ever is.
+* `/templates/` contains all of the page templates and site-specific
+generic content, and is imported by most pages on this site.
+* `/res/` includes static resources, such as images, css, and javascript
+* `/*.sh` are some buildscripts used for building the site
+* The rest of this repository is the root directory of the site.
+
+## Building
+
+This site clearly isn't made for redistribution, being a personal website,
+but hypothetically all that would need to be done is to change `baseUrl` in
+`templates/Templates/Urls.hs`.
+If you wish to make your own site based on my build system,
+please see the dedicated repository for html-generator instead,
+and merely use this page as an example.
+
+First, clone the repo:
+
+```bash
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/lijerom/lijero.co
+```
+
+The `--recursive` option also fetches the `html-generator` submodule.
+If you forgot to include the `--recursive` option, additionally run:
+
+```bash
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
+```
+
+You will then need to install the Haskell Stack:
+
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
+```
+
+And then build and install  html-generators and templates:
+
+```bash
+./build-templates.sh
+```
+
+You may then build the actual `xhtml` site pages using:
+
+```bash
+./build-site-no-sitemap.sh
+```
+
+I would recommend always running the `no-sitemap` variant
+before running the general `build-site` variant,
+because the resultant sitemap will only include the pages
+which successfully compiled,
+even though the previous working versions of those pages still exist.
+
+The entire website is static,
+so no special server configuration should be neccessary.
+However, you can still find my nginx config in https://github.com/lijerom/lijero.co-config/.
+
+```bash
+./build-site.sh
+```
