I built a shitty static site generator, too!

I had no idea what I was doing. Didn't look at how other SSG's work... I just made some template HTML files, stuffed some content in YAML/Markdown frankenstein files, and then used JavaScript string.split().join() calls to stitch together the output files

It worked! It is very satisfying to have one build command that generates the entire site and pushes it to gh-pages for hosting.
