Emma Hodge

 * created emmahodge.org
 * https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site
 * registered with gandi.net
 * forked from the blank-gh-site that created and put on the indieweb org on github
 * renamed the repo to githubuser.github.io
 * the index.html contains an h-card with a name
 * and a link to Twitter where people should put in their twitter account, already has rel=me
 * https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site/network
 * using this technique we can get a list of who has forked that page, and help them out
 * she edited the Zone File in her gandi.net settings for her domain
 * added an A record entry, @ A (IP address from github)
 * and we noticed that the TTL was 3 hours, so it took a while to take effect
 * meanwhile she also had to create a file called "CNAME" at the root of her static site repo on github with just one line of "emmahodge.org"
 * she edited the index.html file and commited it, a few hours later it worked: http://emmahodge.org/

 * shows his admin site with venue creation / editing page
