### Running the site

_This is a bit of a hack. The pages may look wonky._

1. In the root of the project, start a server on port 8000
* See this [script for Python server](https://github.com/paulirish/dotfiles/blob/3fa2e7dc1f1ea5eaf7f6a2531b937ff8bd8833f9/.functions#L25-L32).
* It's easier if your server can also do a directory listing.
* For example: `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000`
2. Open [http://localhost:8000/_preview.html](http://localhost:8000/_preview.html)
3. You will see the boilerplate with the index.html file already included
4. To preview another document, add a url paramater with the filename
* Something like: [http://localhost:8000/_preview.html?data-compression.html](http://localhost:8000/_preview.html?data-compression.html)
* Or: [http://localhost:8888/_preview.html?webview/gettingstarted.html](http://localhost:8888/_preview.html?webview/gettingstarted.html)
* Or: [http://localhost:8000/_preview.html?webview/gettingstarted.html](http://localhost:8000/_preview.html?webview/gettingstarted.html)
* Things mostly work but is not exactly the same as viewing through DCC.
