So, you’ve written a blog post and you’d like to submit it to the Hood.ie Blog? Firstly, a ⭐ big thank you ⭐ from all of us, we really appreciate your work. Keep reading to find out which path on the 'submitting a blog post' you need to take on the journey you’re about to embark on 🌍.
You are:
- Confident with submitting pull requests
- [Not-so-confident but like to do the submission on the command line]
- [Not-so-confident but want to do the submission in the browser]
We won’t take up much of your time then and will give you the bullet-pointed version:
- Make sure you have ruby installed on your computer, as well as the the
jekyll
rubygem 💎. - Fork and clone the Hood.ie website repository.
- Put your blog post (in markdown format) into the
_drafts
folder of the repository, following the correct post format depending on what your post is (TGIF, a regular post, something else). Formats can be found here. - Ensure it looks how you want by running the
jekyll serve --watch --drafts
command on the command line, making any edits you want. - When satisfied with your post, rename the file for the post you want to publish to YEAR-MONTH-DAY-your-post-title.md (e.g. 2015-11-26-hoodie-editorial-team.md) and move it from the
_drafts
folder to the_posts
folder. - Commit your blog post and push the branch up.
- Submit a pull request with your blog post in it.
- Have the blog post reviewed and merged! ✅
All of the above can more-or-less be found in the blog post README of the Hood.ie repository.
