Keystone Career Profile Template

About this project

When I started working on my career profile for Consumer Economics, I wanted to create a static site with Hugo that allows me to post my content as needed.

This is a template that anyone can use to build their own projects.

Instructions

Pre-requisites

• A way of publishing your static site (I personally use Heroku with the Hugo buildpack)
• Hugo binary (if you plan to test your site locally)
• A capable text editor (Atom is a good example)
• Basic terminal skills
• A GitHub account (for publishing source code and automating the process)

Note: This tutorial will assume you are setting up your keystone project site with Heroku.

Setting up Heroku

1. Register for a Heroku account if you haven't already.
2. Create a new app and name it whatever you like.
3. In the app's Settings tab, click 'Add buildpack' and copy the following line into the text box: https://github.com/roperzh/heroku-buildpack-hugo.git.

Installing this Template

1. Register for a GitHub account if you haven't already.
2. On this template's source code page, hit the "Fork" button to fork the repository into your account.

Editing your Settings

1. In the Deploy tab of your Heroku app, click "Connect to GitHub" under the Deployment method section.
2. Verify and allow Heroku to access your repositories.
3. When returning to Heroku, type in the repository name. It should appear in the list.
4. Follow any missing steps to complete the process.

Template Modifications

config.toml

This file is responsible for all of the primary settings used. These are the following values you should change:

```toml baseurl = "https://example.org/"

Replace this with "http://(name-of-your-project).herokuapp.com"

title = "Keystone Template"

Replace this with your site title

```

Making posts and pages

You can take a copy of one of the posts and edit it to match your needs. The same way works for pages. Whenever you make a change to the file in the online GitHub editor or push a commit to your repository, your website will automatically build and should respond within a few minutes.

Using existing content

Cover Letter and Resume

This file is located under content/page/about.md and is used for your cover letter. Your resume is located similarly: content/page/resume.md.This is what you want your employers to see!

Keystone blog

All posts in the content/post folder are attributed to your keystone blog. This may include vision boards, thoughts about your future, and much more. This is not necessary for your professional profile, but it offers some insight.

Career Outlook paper

If you are writing a research paper concerning your outlook of your career of choice, this is one of the posts in your keystone blog. This file is located under content/post/career-outlook.md. You can use the following template areas to guide your post.

Hosting images

Images should be placed in the static/_images folder and should be referenced with the URL: [Name of URL](/_images/nameoffile.ext).
