Sparetime Bluegrass

we're having a good time...

For Docken

So, because I'm an idiot, I wrote my own blog software... and you're soaking in it. Blog posts are written in markdown or html. Each post is its own file and has metadata at the top.

• blog posts are markdown files (.md) in assets/posts
• pages are markdown files (.md) in assets/pages
• images go in assets/images and you use markdown or html to add them to a blog post

Posting to Blog

1. goto github
2. copy the RAW file of another post as a guide
3. add a new file to posts
4. edit as needed
5. add/commit file and push directly to main branch (this automagically deploys to the public website)

YOU'RE DONE

Metadata

This is just simple text (technically YAML) that the system uses; all are necessary. Here's an example:

---
title: Come hear some music and stories about bluegrass...
date: 2017-10-16
tags: news
---

• title the title of your blog post
• date posts are displayed by newest date. A date in the future will not display. This is how I do drafts or tests or whatever
• tags are organizational and clickable... use them as you like. Make up new ones willy nilly 🤷
