The Banno blog is an open forum for any team member to post important updates that the team should know about. Making a post is easy: simply create a new markdown file with a YYYY-mm-dd date at the beginning of the title in the /_posts folder of the Wiki GitHub repo, as outlined in Jekyll’s documentation.
To populate our list of blog posts correctly, be sure to include the following items in the front matter at the top of your file:
---
layout: post
title: '<unique title>'
author: '<your name>'
---
Posts are displayed newest first, according to the date used in the filename. Blog posts do not require a pull request, but feel free to use one if you need a reviewer. By default, the first paragraph is pulled as a preview, but you can set this manually as needed.
Blog posts are rendered from Markdown. If you’re not sure how to use Markdown, there are resources available. Luckily, it’s not too tricky!
Once the site updates, be sure to send out an update in #team-banno so everyone knows to have a look!
