# Add About page, configurable Home link, RSS footer, MIT license

Branch `feature/header-about-config` · merged 2026-10-24 · version 0.2.0

## What changed

- **Header:** the host name is replaced by a **Home** link to the index, and the RSS link is replaced by **About**.
- **Configurable Home text:** set `"homeText"` in `content/site.json`. With no file, no setting or a blank value, it shows "Home". The file is reloaded when it changes, so editing it needs a redeploy but not a rebuild or restart.
- **About page (`/about`):** a box at the top with the version (0.2.0 plus the short git commit), the total post count and a link to the latest post. Below it is the guide to writing posts, taken from the hello-world post (`about.md`, built into the binary).
- **Footer:** a new footer with the RSS link at the bottom right, on every page.
- **License:** MIT in `LICENSE`, linked from the README. The README also documents `site.json`, `/about` and how versioning works.

## Notes

- `site.json` lives in `content/`, so `deploy-go posts --content` ships it with no script change. It is never treated as a post.
- If `site.json` has invalid JSON or a misspelled setting name, the error is logged and the last good settings stay in use.

## Testing

- All tests pass with the race detector (`go test -race ./...`).
- New tests cover each `site.json` case (missing, set, left out, blank, broken JSON, unknown setting, deleted), the header and footer on every page type, the About page with and without posts, and `site.json` not being listed as a post.
- Built and ran locally, then checked the header, footer and About page in the HTML.
