SOLR-16833: Add blog to Solr website #97
SOLR-16833: Add blog to Solr website #97
Conversation
This commit introduces a new top-level section to the Apache Solr website: a blog. The blog homepage (`/blog.html`) consists of: - a short intro/welcome - a link to contribution instructions - and then a list of blog post titles+links+snippets Blog posts themselves are put in the `content/pages/blogposts` directory, and use a similar naming convention as we've already established for news items (ie. `YYYY-MM-DD-article-title-slug.md`). Unlike "news" items though, blog posts are compiled into proper HTML pages with their own URL. This commit contains two stub blog posts. These are intended purely as placeholders, and should be replaced before going live with the "Blog" section of the site. Still TODO (but not necessarily needed to merge) - Add docs to guide users through blog-post contribution. (Might be easier once we have an example PR or two to refer back to?) - produce an RSS or ATOM feed
I wanted to let this sit a nice long time, as it's a big change to our website. But it's been at least a month, and the bit of feedback this did get was positive! So I'll look to commit sometime soon (maybe later this week?) The main thing still TBD is to create a non-"Lorem Ipsum" blog to be our inaugural post. At the risk of being too "meta", maybe the first post could announce the blog, discuss the rationale, and describe how to contribute/submit posts. Pending other suggestions I'll write this up and submit for review this week. |
+1 perfect |
Alright, it took me longer than expected to get the first few posts written, but I finally have those done. As things stand right now, when we merge this we'll launch with two posts:
Neither of them will win the Pulitzer, but "meta" posts are hard, and they're a start. Would love some review on these if anyone has a few minutes to give them a look! |
