Welcome to the site for podman. This site features announcements and news around podman, and occasionally other container tooling news.
The website runs on GitHub Pages via Jekyll to make it as convenient as possible for you to contribute.
Before you start, please verify that you've an entry for yourself in the top level _config.yml file in the
authors section. Your entry should look like the following example. Please note if you do not have a gravatar, a twitter account or simply don't want to share a particular field, just leave the field blank or completely remove the particular line.

You can add blog posts by adding a file to the _posts folder. The file must use the following naming convention: yyyy-mm-dd-relevant-title-here.md. In the file itself, you will need to start with the following metadata:
---
title: <your title here>
layout: default
author: <author id, from the example above 'jsmith'>
categories: [blogs]
tags: <your tags here>
---
{% assign author = site.authors[page.author] %}
# My Blog Title
## By {{ author.display_name }} [GitHub](https://github.com/{{ author.github }}) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{ author.twitter }})
<yourtext in markdown format goes here, check out other blog posts if you're unsure how to proceed>
Please pay attention to the categories: [blogs] section. Currently, there are 4 categories available: [blogs], [releases], [talks] and [new].
NOTE: If you want to add a ':' (colon) to your title, you will need to instead use :, otherwise the post will not be displayed on the index page. For example:
Instead of:
title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?
use:
title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?
Finally if your blog is more than a paragraph or two long, please add this tag after the first or second paragraph:
<!--readmore-->
This will provide a preview on the blogs index page and the reader can read that first bit and then decide if they want to go in for a deeper dive.
