Getting Started

This site was provisioned by the SirSluginston AWS adapter. Here's what's running:

• Database: DynamoDB (sirsluginston-co-Config, sirsluginston-co-UserData)
• Auth: Cognito User Pool — your admin email is in the admins group
• Media storage: S3 + CloudFront distribution
• Beacon: Production mode — SLIME acceptance gate active on first admin login, enforcement active
• Hosting: Lambda SSR function + CloudFront CDN

All resources are tagged CreatedBy: SirSluginstonCLI and visible in AWS Resource Groups & Tag Editor.

Visit /admin to access the admin panel. From there you can:

• Create and edit pages using the visual Page Builder
• Manage brands (multi-tenant support built in)
• Configure branding — colors, navigation, site name, logo
• Manage ad slots — view your current publisher ID and solvency cap status

Access is protected by Cognito authentication and the SLIME acceptance gate. On your first admin login, you'll accept the SLIME license before the panel opens.

Pages are built from blocks. Each block is a section of content that you can add, reorder, and configure from the admin panel.

Available blocks:

• Rich Text — Markdown content with full formatting
• Callout — Hero section with title, description, and buttons
• Card Grid — A grid of cards with title, description, icon, and link
• Media Split — Image + text side-by-side
• Pricing Table — Tiers with features and a CTA
• Accordion — Collapsible FAQ-style sections
• Form — Contact forms with configurable fields
• Docs — Structured documentation with sidebar navigation (this block)

All pages are rendered server-side by PageBuilder and served from DynamoDB. CloudFront invalidation is triggered automatically on admin save.

The Beacon is a required part of every SirSluginston deployment. It connects your site to the SirSluginston platform and does three things for you:

1. Activates your ad slots — The Beacon receives a signed token that tells your AdSlots which publisher ID to serve. Without it, AdSlots serve internal SirSluginston promotions instead of your own publisher ID.
2. Tracks your solvency cap — The platform uses Beacon data to verify your impression count and calculate your cap position. No manual reporting required on your end.
3. Confirms your account health — On first admin login in production, the Beacon triggers the SLIME acceptance gate. Once accepted, it keeps your account in good standing.

On a live deployment, if the Beacon becomes unreachable, the platform gives you time to diagnose and restore it through a graduated, fully-recoverable notification process. Every effect reverses the moment the Beacon is restored.

Compliance & Troubleshooting →

Open /admin and navigate to Config to set your site's branding:

• Site name — appears in the header and page metadata
• Colors — primary, secondary, background, text, accent (dark and light mode separately)
• Navigation — links that appear in the header
• Theme — default dark or light mode

Changes take effect immediately. A CloudFront cache invalidation is triggered automatically on save.

You're up and running on AWS. Here's what to do next:

1. Open the admin panel → — Accept SLIME, then create your first real page and configure branding
2. Platform Overview → — Understand how the system works and what each add-on does
3. Set your domain — Your Route53 hosted zone is provisioned. If you used an external registrar, update your nameservers to the ones the CLI printed. DNS propagation typically takes 5–60 minutes.
