How web base template actually works

Like, how this and wordpress and scott's plugin and everything all work together

Basics

web-base-template sets up the structure of all jquery websites using Wordpress Multisite, it contains a base (parent) theme and all of the individual (child) themes for each site.
During the install process web-base-template uses a custom wp-config file to setup dev sites for all of the various jquery websites in your local environment.
Using Grunt-Wordpress the contents of .html files in /posts/<post-type>/ for each site are push to the wordpress database using XML-RPC
The file name become the post/page slug when deployed to wordpress.

Refer to Full Installation Notes for details on how to get Web-Base-Template installed.

Post meta information (tags, categories etc) for content deployed to wordpress via Grunt Wordpress can be set using a JSON block at the top of each .html file, details of the various options can be found on the Grunt-Wordpress Page
All other HTML tags will get synced to the wordpress database using XML-RPC.
If you need to reference other assets such as images or other files they should be in the /resources/ directory of each individual site, the entire /resources/ directory will be deployed in the process.

Details of setting up and deploying content for individual jquery websites can be found in Website content builds
