Quickstart
==========

If you want to quickly give it a spin:

::

    pip install piecrust
    chef init mywebsite
    cd mywebsite
    chef serve

It should create a new empty site in a ``mywebsite`` folder, and start a small
web server to preview it. You can then point your browser to ``localhost:8080``
to see the default home page.

Use ``chef prepare page`` and ``chef prepare post`` to create pages and posts,
and edit those in your favorite text editor.

When you're happy, run ``chef bake`` to generate the final static website,
which you'll find in ``_counter``. At this point you can upload the contents of
``_counter`` to your server.
