Static is a simple static site generator written in Clojure. For a sample site build using static see http://nakkaya.com
Creating a static site usually involves the following,
- Set up the basic structure of the site
- Create some posts
- Run your site locally to see how it looks
- Deploy your site
A basic static site usually looks something like this:
.

-- resources |-- posts | |-- 2009-04-17-back-up-and-restore-a-mysql-database.markdown | |-- 2010-02-10-a-simple-clojure-irc-client.markdown | -- 2010-08-02-using-clojure-contrib-generic-interfaces.markdown
|-- public
