// NOTE: If CSS doesn't build,

// Run `npm run build-css` to test and the console will show an error if this is the case.
// Sometimes, if build works but watch doesn't, you will have to run
// `watch-css` from the terminal manually. It should be ok then.

// Upon blog post creation, run `npm run build-md`.

    host: set the address to bind to, defaults to 0.0.0.0 or process.env.IP
    root: set root directory that's being served, defaults to cwd
    open: if false, then it won't load browser by default
    ignore: comma-separated string for paths to ignore
    file: when set, serve this file (server root relative) for every 404 (useful for SPAs)
    wait: set delay (ms) before loading after changes are made
    mount: mount a directory to a route (e.g., [['/components', './node_modules']])
    logLevel: 0 = errors only, 1 = some logs, 2 = lots of logs
