libp2p Blog & News

This repository contains code and content for the libp2p Blog & News website.

Adding your blog entry

It's recommend that you add your blog entry manually by creating a new Markdown file and creating a pull request. This allows us to review blog posts line by line and go through a proper review cycle.

The steps are as follows:

1. Add your new file in src/_blog
2. Add any images or assets in src/assets
3. Add the path to your Markdown file in a new line in the file .forestry/front_matter/templates/blog-post.yml

When writing a new post, you'll also need to fill in the header information:

---
tags:
  - <any tags you want i.e. libp2p>
  - libp2p
title: <title of your blog post>
description: <short description; this field is optional>
date: <the date you would like to publish the blog post, can be in the future>
permalink: <set as '' unless you want a specific permalink>
translationKey: <set as ''>
header_image: <the header image for the blog post. The file should be in src/assets and it should be added here as /filename.jpg>
author: <Your Name>
---

Here is an example pull request that adds a new blog entry for reference: https://github.com/libp2p/blog/pull/33/files
