Blog

Blog (blog.victorgoico.com)

Custom markdown-based blog built with a Python script, Jinja2 templates, and Sass. Deployed via GitHub Pages. This repo is dedicated to the blog only (one CNAME per GitHub Pages repo; portfolio uses a separate repo).

DNS setup

The blog is served at the blog subdomain (blog.victorgoico.com). To point it at GitHub Pages:

1. In SquareSpace DNS for the root domain (victorgoico.com), open Custom Records and add:
   • Type: CNAME
   • Host: blog
   • Alias Data: victorgoic0.github.io (or this repo’s GitHub Pages hostname)
   • TTL: 30 minutes (or minimum available)

2. The repo contains CNAME at the root with the custom domain. That file must be present in the deployed output root so GitHub Pages can serve the site on the subdomain.

3. After saving, allow time for DNS propagation (often 5–15 minutes; sometimes longer). Verify with:
   • dig blog.victorgoico.com CNAME
   • or nslookup blog.victorgoico.com

Build and deploy

(To be added with PR #2 and later: how to run the build script, Sass compile, and deploy to GitHub Pages.)
