Blog Website Using Express, EJS and Lodash

This project uses partials to build a cohesive whole website. It has a home page, about us page , contact us page. Home page stores the new blog posts in chronological order but the actual blog content will be truncated to only 100 characters. When you click on read more, it will take you to an individual page of each of your blog posts and you can read them independently on a single page.

There's also a hidden page(localhost:3000/compose) which will allow you to compose your diary. Then you can see the new post gets put right on the home page and a brand new page has been created in the URL localhost:3000/posts/another-post(example for another post titled blog post) just for that new post. Hit enter and we get taken to the page where that blog posts exists.
