# Static site Generator

Managing a large web site can be though, and content management systems (CMS) somewhat solves the problem. CMS's are however often large and complicated, and hard to extending with new functionality. With a Static Site Generator (SSG) you get the convenience of a CMS while maintaining the freedom, and the ability to more easily customize, with endless possibilities!

Show the editor's SSG widget by hitting `F9`, or click "Static Site Generator" in the menu.

## Writing a new blog post using the SSG

1. In the SSG widget click `New Page` to create a new page from a template.
2. Save the page using `Ctrl + S`. Save the file as:
   /website_example/source/blog/name_of_file.html
   Make sure it's saved in the "blog" folder!
3. Preview the page: `Ctrl + F9` or `Preview` in SSG widget.
4. Write the blog post and hit `Ctrl + S` to save when you are done.
5. Publish the site `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F9` or `Publish` in SSG widget.

The built in SSG has a simplified source control management (SCM) workflow with automatic pull/merge/push to allow "mere mortals" to use SCM. The SSG also supports "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) live editing.
