+Blog posts have migrated from wordpress and are now managed as part of the website.

+To create a new blog post:
+
+1. Create a new markdown page in ``_posts`` following the filename convention for sort order:
+
+   ``_posts/2021-05-04-may-the-fork-be-with-you.md``
+
+2. The post is published using the metadata included at the top of your file.
