Optimizely CMS 12 Project Setup - Optimizely from Scratch

Rebooting the formerly-Episerver, now-Optimizely from Scratch video series. In this episode, we set up a new project with the Optimizely CMS 12 templates for .NET 5. For more information on project setup, including the CLI tool I mention but immediately skip over, check out the Optimizely CMS documentation: https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-cloud/v12.0.0-content-cloud/docs/installing-optimizely-net-5 Errata: At 01:06, in the discussion of prerequisites, I forgot to mention that you need to have installed the .NET 5 SDK. At 5:56, I forgot what the password requirements were. Out of the box, Optimizely CMS uses the default ASP.NET Identity rules, which require a password of at least six characters, containing at least one each of an uppercase character, lowercase character, a digit, and a non-alphanumeric character. At 9:29 I accidentally call the Optimizely Templates the "Blend.Optimizely templates". Blend.Optimizely is a package of Optimizely CMS utilities that Blend has created, but has nothing to do with templates. I mean to just say "Optimizely templates." (But hey, since you know about it now, check out https://github.com/blendinteractive/Blend.Optimizely ) At 10:31 I said "IIS Express" when I just meant "IIS". IIS Express cannot be bound to anything but "localhost" and therefore does not need a license. But if you run through full IIS and bind to a domain other than "localhost" or anything ending in ".local", you will need one.
