    # API
    my $api = $self->api;
    
    # Read config
    my $config = $api->read_config;
    
    # Copy static files to public
    $api->copy_static_files_to_public;

    # Get files in templates directory
    my $files = $api->get_templates_files;
    
    for my $file (@$files) {
      # Data
      my $data = {file => $file};
      
      # Get content from file in templates directory
      $api->get_content($data);

      # Parse Giblog syntax

      $api->build_html($data);
      
      # Write to public file
      $api->write_to_public_file($data);
    }
