# Themestrap Blog

A small, fast blog that works the moment you upload it. There is nothing to install, no database, no settings file to edit, and no server rules to write. Your posts are plain files, and you manage everything from a friendly admin page in your browser.

**Three steps**

1. Upload the folder to your web hosting (FTP, or your host's file manager).
2. Open your site and add `/admin` to the address.
3. Answer three questions (blog name, your name, a password). You are in.

That is the whole setup. It works on ordinary shared hosting with no root access, and it does not matter whether your host runs Apache or nginx.

> Do step 2 straight after uploading. The first person to open the admin page chooses the password.

## What you get

Requirements: PHP 8.1 or newer (every major host offers it, usually under “PHP version” in the control panel).

## The admin and Themestrap

The admin is built from Themestrap plugins: `PluginAuth` (sign-in and setup), `PluginCalendar` and `PluginTimePicker` (publish date and time), `PluginSelect` (every dropdown), `PluginNumberInput` (the number fields), `PluginDialog` (every question and notice), `PluginMarkdownEditor`, `PluginRichEditor`, `PluginTagsInput`, `PluginToolbar` and `PluginMarkdown`. Copies live in `assets/admin/themestrap/` so the blog is self-contained. The public site loads only one plugin, `PluginScrollShadow`, and only on post pages (you can switch it off in Settings).
