Personalize your homepage

Quest: personalize-homepage

Mission

Replace the starter heading in ~/src/pages/index.md, run build-website, then check the generated homepage.

Why This Matters

Editing generated HTML is a trap because the next build can overwrite it. Editing source, rebuilding, and checking output is the repeatable publishing loop.

Commands You Will Use

• micro
• build-website
• cat

Steps

1. Open ~/src/pages/index.md with micro.
2. Replace A Linux site under construction with any text.
3. Save the source file and quit the editor.
4. Run build-website.
5. Run cat ~/public_html/index.html and find your new heading.
6. Ask the guide to check the source and generated homepage.

Hints

1. Edit ~/src/pages/index.md, not ~/public_html/index.html.
2. Rebuild after saving the Markdown source.
3. The starter heading must be gone from both source and generated output.

If Check Fails

Open ~/src/pages/index.md, replace the starter heading, save, run build-website, then check ~/public_html/index.html again.
