How to make New Post

Where to add every lesson ?

Create every lesson as a 'post' inside the _post directory within the

The organization is as:

dspira-lessons/Astronomy/
                |_____Astronomy Lessons/_posts/
                |_____Astronomy Lectures/_posts/

dspira-lessons/Engineering/
                |______DSP/_posts/
                |______Electronics/_posts/
                |______General Engineering/_posts/

Create the post

Again, the _posts folder is where your blog posts live. You typically write posts in Markdown, HTML is also supported.

To create a post, add a file to appropriate _posts directory with the following format:

YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP

Where YEAR is a four-digit number, MONTH and DAY are both two-digit numbers, and MARKUP is the file extension representing the format used in the file. For example, the following are examples of valid post filenames:

2011-12-31tad--is-awesome.md
2012-09-12-how-to-write-a-strong-lesson.md

Create a fie in github by navigating the correct directory and clicking the create file button

All post files must begin with front matter which is typically used to set a layout or other meta data. For a simple example this can just be empty:

---
layout:     post
title:      Building a Horn
date:       2020-07-09 21:21:29
summary:    How a build a 21cm Horn Antenna
tags: ['School Teachers', 'Students', 'Hobbyists' ]
---

• Every post can have one tag or multiple tags. It will automatically split a string entry if it contains whitespace. The website software Jekyll expects multiple items mapped to the key tags For example, while front matter tag: classic hollywood will be processed into a singular entity "classic hollywood", front matter tags: classic hollywood will be processed into an array of entries ["classic", "hollywood"].

• After the front matter make your lesson post formatting it in markdown refer to this cheat sheet https://github.com/WVURAIL/dspira-lessons/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet
