[Feature request] Dogecoin Core guides

I think this is a great idea... any content is fine to start with, we can polish it from the PR.

would be glad to help to integrate that when images and texts are available

@edswf1 - getting the old MAMP dusted off and will get something over when able.

Can anyone point me to a guide to get set up to visually work and commit code? I.e., edit a rendered html page and then commit? I'm on OSX.
It's been so many years since I did this kinda stuff I'm sure there are different ways these days.
Thanks for any guidance.

if you would only like to try some stuff locally, just create a html file on your mac and open it in your favorite browser.

Once you edited your file, make sure cache is cleared (there is an option for that in e.g. chrome Devtools) and reload the page

@patricklodder - I've seen a couple of guides on r/dogecoin and r/dogecoindev - I'm happy to utilize the contents with permission of the authors and add some screenshots and move here.

Think that an okay route, or do we prefer to create fresh content?

This tutorial is super thorough https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoindev/comments/m8c54e/running_a_dogecoin_full_node/

I reached out to the OP to see if we can use it, or parts of it. No need to reinvent the wheel ... but we'll probably want to do a TDLR version for Windows/Mac/Linux followed with the more fully detailed details :)

For the "Get Some Dogecoin" portion of the site feel free to use this content:

”MINING DOGECOIN w/OCM”
This is a brief step-by-step that will help you set up your hardware to ‘mine’ for Dogecoin through Vertcoin’s One-Click-Miner.

-Firstly we want to download the OCM from https://github.com/vertiond/verthash-one-click-miner/releases/latest, pick a directory, and install it
-Next, choose a password (don’t reuse old ones or duplicates) and wait for it to install. Grab something to drink, read a book, and wait for it to complete its process (go outside and play in the sun if you’re able).
-After it has finished it should start giving you an expected earnings in DOGE per 24h and begin mining to your built-in Dogecoin wallet. Keep in mind this is an estimate and ever changing difficulty rates will vary the output

The current guide is rather in depth and has a lot of good information however, guiding new Shibes to CPU/GPU mine Scrypt does not seem the wisest decision imo

Sorry guys I was on a little vacation and been playing catch up.

Revisiting this - I'm curious if there's any chance we might ever consider using something like WordPress for our site? :) I know that's probably very counter to what developers prefer, but I'm afraid my skills and patience with working in text files is pretty null these days. It takes me way more time than it would to, say, update a page in an editor.
I want to contribute content here -- I just need to find a way to do so that won't cost so much time and cause frustration....

Thoughts?
