Local Development, and Writing a Blog

• Start the App Engine development server using ./gradlew run.
• In another terminal run ./gradlew -t build which creates a watch on all the src folders, and sets up live reload.
• From the tools directory run npm run-script watch to setup a watch on the resources/blog/md folder which is the input to the generator responsible in generating the HTML. Also update manifest.json to add blog metadata.
