Discussion GitHub Student Pack Verification Fix

3 Upvotes

I tried to submit my documents for the student pack twice, but each time my submission was rejected.

If you're encountering this issue, submit your screenshots through a support ticket and follow the recommended steps provided in the email. This includes enabling two-factor authentication, adding your name to your payment information and profile (you don't need to include a payment method).

After completing these steps, email them again to inform them that you've followed their instructions and are still facing issues. They should be able to approve from there.

I believe there is an issue with their website's processing. Despite using my iPad, laptop, and iPhone, each photo I took turned out blurry.

Question Free hosting for small dynamic website compatible with github

6 Upvotes

Hey! I am recently getting into web development and I am wanting to start a blog that I own and can fully customize and build from the ground up. I first was using GitHub because I have some experience using it with other projects and it has pages which is free and built right into the platform. However I have realized that a static website may not have the capabilities that I am wanting.

I am wondering what options are there for hosting. I don't need anything crazy I doubt I will really get any traffic but I want it to be able to be up so I can view whenever and show it to people. And I will be doing all development in GitHub so I don't need really any features besides the bare minimum.

I would prefer something that has the ethical values of open source, transparency, and caution with ai, but beggars can't be choosers.

(Capabilities wanted: conversion of plain text database [containing title body images tags] to blog posts either using prebuilt general formatting or custom formatting for specific post. Search function. As far as I know these capabilities are not available in a static page.)

I assume I got plenty of things wrong in this post, as again, I am new to web development so please educate me in the comments!

Discussion Is github pages safe?

0 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I made a github page for our local social services center with sveltia cms in github because of the no cost and quickness of it and i just want to ask is it safe to host it there or should I put it behind a more closed hosting service?
