How to write

The front page of this site is made from index.md. There's a lot of data at the preamble that describes what goes in the top-bar navigation and in the sections at the bottom. The meat of the file is made into the main text in the middle.

Blog posts must be in _posts/ with files named in the form YYYY-MM-DD-TITLESLUG.md .

Dates that are in the future will not be visible on the web site.

If you're new to adding stuff, add yourself to _config.yml in the "authors" section, and use the id you put there ("alicesmith") in the top of every blog post (author: alicesmith). The only required field in _config.yml are name, but a tweet id and avatarid (from github profile image url!) and display_name would be great to have.

For blog entries, use format blog. For the front page, use frontpage. For everything else, use plain for now. Talk to chad if you have something else in mind.

If you're not in the editing group on github, fork the project and propose pull requests.

How to code

The css that controls styling is in styles/site.css .

The code that transforms the various page types, frontpage, plain, and blog are in _layouts with that name.
