How to post?

All members need to follow the following process:

  1. Fork the BITS-ACM Blog repository in your respective GitHub account.
  2. In the _posts directory, create a new file in the following format:
    YYYY-MM-DD-TitleOfYourPost.md
  3. Before beginning with your post, write down the following at the top:
    ---
    layout: post
    title:  "Title of your post"
    tags: [All the tags asscoiated with your post separated by commas]
    author: Your Name
    desc: A One-liner description (optional)
    ---
  1. Write down your post with proper formatting in Markdown.
    You can go through the following 10-minutes-markdown Tutorial if you feel the need.
    A comprehensive guide to Markdown will shortly be posted.

Author Settings:

  1. After you are through with the post, open the _authors folder and create a Markdown file in the following format:
    Your Name.md
  2. Write down the following front-matter in the Markdown file:
    ---
    layout: author
    title: Your Name
