Meeting Minutes notes

• file name should be in the format yyyy-mm-dd-string.md
• title tag will be what is actually displayed on the webpage, so it should be meaningful
• place files in _posts folder

Install jekyll windows

• install ruby-dev from this website
• pull website to computer
• hold shift and right click in acm website directory and open cmd
• type

gem install bundler

• while cmd prompt is in acm directory type

bundle update

• then you can run

jekyll build

to build the website

• if you get this error "You have already activated X, but your Gemfile requires Y" then you can do two things

gem uninstall x

with x being the version thats newer, or

bundle exec jekyll build

which will force the use of the version you needed. This works with all the jekyll commands

All of the main pages are in _pages, except the front page which is just index.markdown in the root directory. They are markdown files that you edit so a minimal amount of html and css knowledge is necessary.

The meeting minutes are saved in _posts. There is a template for those. just make sure to save it and rename it before you start editing it.
