Creating posts

• Browse to src/content/posts/
• Create a new markdown file
  • Filename should follow this convention: YYYY-MM-DD-POST-TITLE.md
  • Required Frontmatter:
    • title - name of the post
    • slug - permalink for the post
    • date - post date
    • authors - array of authors
    • tags - array of tags
    • categories - array of categories
    • twitter_text - text that will display when shared to twitter
    • image - post header image
    • image_url - url where image is sourced from
    • image_credit - owner of the image

Adding an image

Add images to the public/images/ directory. Inside posts you can include these by linking just off of images/.

Example Markdown File

When you create a new post, you need to fill the post information in the front-matter, follow this example:

---
title: "How to use"
authors: 
- <Your name here>
date: 2015-08-03 03:32:44
image: "/images/my-great-image.jpg"
image_url: <url/page associated with image>
image_credit: <name for image credit>
tags:
- jekyll
- template
categories:
- I love Jekyll
twitter_text: "How to install and use this template"
---

If the page has no image, image: can be omitted entirely. A default system image will be used. If image_credit: is specified, then image_url: should also be specified.
