What & why

Third slice of the GitBook-formatting audit (after wayfinding cards #12 and scannability tables #13). This PR reformats the Resources pages so their link-lists render as finished, scannable content instead of bare URLs — using the right GitBook block for each case.

Changes

Public link-lists → {% embed %} cards (rich cards pulling each site's own title/description, so placeholder [blurb] entries look finished without inventing copy):

  • business-resources/podcasts-and-webinars.md — 8 podcasts as embed cards.
  • business-resources/blogs-and-books.md — Auvik + Jay McBain entries.
  • technical-resources/blogs-and-books.md — RMM comparison sheet + CyberDrain.
  • technical-resources/podcasts-and-webinars.md — was empty; added a note + content-ref to the populated Business list.

Communities pages → tables / heading fixes (these are not good embed candidates — social links are login-walled; peer-group entries are structured and embeds would flatten them):

  • social-media-communities.md — bare list → Community / Platform / Focus / Link table.
  • peer-groups.md — added an "at a glance" summary table above the existing detailed entries.
  • forums-and-chat-communities.md — normalized inconsistent heading levels (mixed ##/#### + a stray "6.") to a consistent ### per community.

Added a frontmatter description: to every one of these pages that lacked one.

Scope

Formatting only. All original URLs and blurbs preserved. No community entries added or removed, so the community_list JSON mirror is untouched.

Verification

  • Embeds use correct self-closing GitBook syntax; both new tables are well-formed (4 columns).
  • All original URLs confirmed present; cross-space content-ref resolves; JSON unchanged.

Flagged for a separate follow-up (content, not formatting)

While reformatting I found the community_list JSON is stale and out of sync with the prose: it holds 17 entries (a superset spanning all three community pages) while the forums page lists 6, several links diverge (MSPGeek, Spiceworks, TTD), and one is a placeholder — discord.gg/0123abc456def. Reconciling it needs canonical-link decisions, so I left it out of this formatting PR.

The Resources podcast/blog pages were bare "Name / [blurb] / **Link:** url"
lists, with most blurbs still the literal placeholder [blurb]. Replace the
plain link lines with GitBook {% embed %} blocks, which render each URL as a
rich card (pulling the destination's own title and description) — so the
entries look finished without inventing copy about third-party sites.

- business-resources/podcasts-and-webinars.md: 8 podcasts as embed cards
  under named headings; the one real blurb (Business of Tech) kept.
- business-resources/blogs-and-books.md: Auvik + Jay McBain entries as embeds.
- technical-resources/blogs-and-books.md: RMM comparison sheet + CyberDrain
  as embeds; existing blurbs kept.
- technical-resources/podcasts-and-webinars.md: was completely empty; add a
  short note + a content-ref to the populated Business Resources list.

Added frontmatter description: to all four pages. All original URLs preserved.

Extends the Resources formatting pass to the Communities leaf pages, which
are link-lists but not good {% embed %} candidates (login-walled social
groups, or richly structured entries embeds would flatten):

- social-media-communities.md: bare Name/blurb/Link list becomes a
  Community / Platform / Focus / Link table. Descriptions preserved.
- peer-groups.md: add an "at a glance" summary table (Peer group / Region /
  Best for / Link) above the existing detailed entries.
- forums-and-chat-communities.md: normalize inconsistent heading levels
  (mixed ## and #### plus a stray "6.") to a consistent ### per community.

Added frontmatter description: to the two pages that lacked one. No community
entries added or removed, so the community_list JSON mirror is untouched.
