Chapter: Awaiting Categorization
Pointing Multiple Domain Addresses to your site
Chapters from “at your fingertips”
Selwyn Polit is a very talented individual with great Drupal skills who published a GitHub pages site for Developers. Site Builders are more likely to use the modules and CI/CD process flow from the ARMTEC site. However, there is a very natural topic redudancy as a site builder begins to gain more experience and finds themselves trying to do increasingly unique or sophisticated things. So we asked Selwyn if he was ok if we present very integrated links between related topics from his GitHub pages book and he agreed. In addition, his attribution section acknowledges CC by 4.0 license granting this type of permission and below are the chapter sections were we want to acknowledge him. Think of this as ARMTEC helping introduce and frame site elements while Selwyn provides greater detail for those who are ready to take the next step of being an actual Developer. Here is a direct, full link to his site.
If you think you might be ready to get into this developer stuff, at least as a first level of ‘edit some changes’ you want to try, it pays to have a basic understanding of how PHP fits in.

This site as well as Selwyn’s use GitHub pages. The markdown format used by GitHub pages is fairly capable of making a basic website. It doesn’t share the scale, database linkage nor front-end presentation strength of Drupal. However, if you aren’t familar with some basic HTML you can use a little in the process of working with markdown. And if you don’t know CSS, you can use some GitHub pages templates to gain some familiarity. Try starting with the combination of Github pages and Jekyll; this site is using ‘Minimal’, a copy of its base CSS and some customized additions CSS.
