Publication List

The list of publications is in bib/pubs.bib. Append your publication maintaining the format.

News Items and Blog Posts

For both long-form blog posts and short news updates, we use Jekyll's blogging system. To post a new item of either type, you create a file in the _posts directory using the naming convention YYYY-MM-DD-title-for-url.md. The date part of the filename always matters; the title part is currently only used for full blog posts (but is still required for news updates).

The file must begin with YAML front matter. For news updates, use this:

---
layout: post
shortnews: true
---

For full blog posts, use this format:

---
layout: post
title:  "Some Great Title Here"
---

And concoct a page title for your post. The body of the post goes after the --- in either case.

You can also customize the icon that is displayed on the news feed. By default it's newspaper-o. We use icons from the FontAwesome icon set.

Projects

To create a project, just create a markdown file in the _projects folder. Here are the things you can put in the YAML frontmatter:

• title: The project title.
• notitle: Set this to true if you don't want a title displayed on the project card. Optional.
• description: The text shown in the project card. It supports markdown.
• people: The people working on the project. This is a list of keys from the _data/people.yml file.
• layout: project This sets the layout of the actual project page. It should be set to project.
• image: The URL of an image for the project. This is shown on both the project page and the project card. Optional.
• last-updated: Date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. The project cards are sorted by this, most recent first.
• status: inactive Set this to inactive if don't want the project to appear on the front page. Just ignore it otherwise.
• link: Set this to an external URL if this project has a page somewhere else on the web. If you don't have a link:, then the content of this markdown file (below the YAML frontmatter) will be this project's page.
• no-link: true Set this if you just don't want a project page for your project.

Personnel

People are listed in a YAML file in _data/people.yml. You can list the name, link, bio, and role of each person. Roles (e.g., "Faculty", "Staff", and "Students") are defined in _config.yml.

Deploying changes

Finally, just commint and push your changes to github. Wait for few minutes, the changes will be reflected on the site eventually.
