# Cobalt Static Site Generator

I have been building this site using [Cobalt](http://cobalt-org.github.io)

It then combines my posts with layout files written in Liquid templates.

{% include "_header.liquid" %}
{% include "_menu.liquid" %}
<main class="main-content">
    {{ page.content }}
</main>
{% include "_footer.liquid" %}

FYI: You can escape the Liquid template syntax with the {% raw %} tag.

I then add some CSS which can be broken up using SASS and I've got a full site.

I could even add some scripts if I wanted to get fancy. Mostly it avoids all the backend configuration. I just write a post and build. I could even setup a CI that would automatically build whenever I commit an update if I feel inclined.
