Rockhopper 1776

Rockhopper 1776 is a Jekyll-powered GitHub Pages site for historical writing, boardgame tools, and hobbyist software projects.

Site structure

• index.html — homepage and featured work
• articles.html — historical writing index at /articles/
• boardgames.html — boardgame tools and projects at /boardgames/
• azerothcore.html — AzerothCore modules and notes
• about.html — site and author introduction at /about/
• the-battle-of-quiberon-bay.html — long-form historical article
• _layouts/default.html — shared header, navigation, page shell, and footer
• styles.css — shared responsive styles
• 404.html — useful fallback page for broken or outdated links

historical-writings.html is retained only as a redirect so old bookmarks and search results reach the current /articles/ page.

Adding a project or article

1. Copy a .content-list-item block on the appropriate section page.
2. Add the new page with layout: default and a matching section value in its front matter.
3. Use root-relative Jekyll links, for example {{ '/articles/' | relative_url }}.
4. Keep site-wide presentation changes in styles.css and shared navigation in _layouts/default.html.

The accepted section values are azerothcore, boardgames, writings, and about. They control the active state in the main navigation.

Publishing

Changes are published by GitHub Pages only after they are committed and pushed to the configured publishing branch. Review the local build and changed-file diff before pushing.
