Tutorial: How to export your own full-featured website


  1. Optional: Go to BOILERPLATE > ANALYTICS > GTM_code and paste your Google Tag Manager code inside the note.
  2. Go to Dashboard > Dash: Directories and set values for the seven notes.
  3. In Dashboard > Styles Dash, open the About note and type a short description of your blog.
  4. Open blogAboutNote and type a longer description of your blog. If you like, add a title for this page in the $DisplayExpression key attribute (blogAboutNote will change its display name).
  5. Now, make a new note inside of Blog Posts—your first category note. Give it a name.
  6. Now, make a new note inside the category note you just made—your first post. Give it a name and write it. When it’s ready for publication, check the tick-box next to $blogReady. ($blogReady is a key attribute. If it’s not visible at the top of the window, run the stamp and it will appear.)
  7. For longer writing projects, make a PAGE. Paste your notes from another TBX into Blog PAGES and then set its $blogReady to true. Then set the prototype of its descendants to normal_note and you’re good to go!
  8. Delete the sample categories that come with BoxPress, or suppress their export by selecting them and running the stamp.
  9. Export your blog by running File > Export > as HTML. Select BoxPressExport as your export folder. Click Export.
  10. Go the the Finder and open index.html, and you will be viewing your new home page!
