WebPagePub is a blogging platform. It was written in C# and runs on .NET Core.

1. Create an SQL Server database instance and update the appsettings.json file with the connection string.
2. Create an IIS website which can you deploy the project to.
3. Deploy the site with the proper settings using the CI.bat file. It needs the parameters for SQL and IIS
4. At this time, you will have to manually create the first Administrator user in the SQL database.
5. Once you have the site running and can log in, you need to add an Azure storage connection string (you will need an Azure storage account created to do this)
6. From here, you should be able to use most of the site features.

For updates: The website and database can be deployed using the CI.bat file which needs parameters for the IIS server it should be deployed to.
