Add links to our store! about pyladies

[williln]

@econchick I'll do this. Can you assign it to me?

Also, where should this go? I was thinking on the homepage, under "WELCOME!" Maybe add a section called, "GET SOME SWAG!" with links to the two stores?

[econchick]

Maybe under the "Sponsor Us" button on the right, like two buttons, "Buy our stickers" and "Check out our swag" (really don't care about the verbiage though).

Feel free to take it - I'm going to make a new team within the organization for "contributors" and assign it to you.

[econchick]

@williln I just sent you an invite to the Collaborators team - accept it so I can try to add you to this and the other issue :)

[williln]

Done! :) (Or rather, me accepting the invite to the Collaborators team is done.)

@econchick Stupid question time: how do I install libevent? I downloaded the GZ file, but pip install doesn't seem to like it. (I'm used to developing in a very consistent, but sort of odd environment-- this is my first time setting up a GitHub project to run locally on my machine.)

Or if anyone else has a "getting Pyladies running on your machine" that is more step-by-step in terms of installing this particular header, I'd love to see it.

[econchick]

yeah it's not a Python library. I think this is what's needed to install it:

• Download latest stable release of libevent from their site.
• Unzip and cd into the libevent directory
• Run ./configure && make
• Run sudo make install

[econchick]

(also - there are no stupid questions!)

@econchick +1 re: questions :)
@williln Ooh links to the stores. 🆒

[williln]

New question time! I'm still trying to get Pyladies to run locally on my machine, and am almost there. I am to step 6:

1. (PyLadies) $ mynt gen -f _site && mynt serve _site

But I'm getting an ImportError:

File "/Users/laceywilliamshenschel/pyladies/pyladies/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mynt/server.py", line 5, in <module> from SimpleHTTPServer import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler ImportError: No module named 'SimpleHTTPServer'

As far as I could tell, things installed correctly when I ran step 4 (requirements.txt). But it did produce many many lines of messages, and then ended with

Successfully installed Jinja2-2.7 PyYAML-3.11 Pygments-2.0.2 argh-0.26.1 houdini.py-0.1.0 markupsafe-0.23 misaka-1.0.2 mynt-0.2.3 pathtools-0.1.2 watchdog-0.8.3

No rush on helping me with this, but I'd really like to successfully get the site running locally so I can learn to do neat stuff :)

Hi @williln SimpleHTTPServer is in the standard lib, but it looks like it was renamed in Python 3 to http.server, per this - https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html

I'm not a Python 3 user so I can't be of any more help, I'm afraid. Is mynt Python 3-compatible?

[econchick]

I don't think it is; and also make sure you're in the www directory or mynt won't work.

[williln]

I think that's the problem; that I'm using python 3. I'll install
2....7?... tomorrow and try again. Thanks!

I am finally getting back to this...

I am not a CSS wizard, but I would like to center the text on at least the bottom button. There are a lot of places where the CSS impacts these buttons, though. For CSS, I created an id called #swag_btn and #stickers_btn and just added that everywhere in the CSS that #sponsor_us_btn appeared in screen.css. I am not sure why the text isn't centered. I added a text-align: center and that didn't help.

Any tips?

[willingc]

@williln If you send me a link to the code you are working on or submit a work in process PR here, I would be happy to take a look.

[willingc]

@audreyr Your Inland Empire post last night got me thinking... Any tips for @williln?

[audreyfeldroy]

@williln Try generating the styles with http://howtocenterincss.com and see if it works :)

If still stuck, don't worry. If needed I'll take a closer look at the code when I get a chance.

[willingc]

Thanks @audreyr. That is a cool site :)

[williln]

I did it!
