How two make your Campfire Satellite site

1. Copy the template JSON

Paste the template JSON into a text editor (or you could also just use this to edit it).

2. Edit the fields you need

(This is not necessary if your event is Campfire Shelburne. If your event is not Campfire Shelburne, you should probably change these fields.)

Ignore the localization field unless you want to translate the entire site to your desired language.
