Before you start, please verify that you've an entry for yourself in the top level _config.yml file in the authors section. Your entry should look like the following example. Please note if you do not have a gravatar, a twitter account or simply don't want to share a particular field, just leave the field blank or completely remove the particular line.

  jsmith:
    name: Jessica Smith
    display_name: Jessica Smith
    gravatar: c69c8419c8e4d1bbedc7874281453781

    twitter: JSmithOnTwitter
    github: JSmithOnGitHub

You can add blog posts by adding a file to the _posts folder. The file must use the following naming convention: yyyy-mm-dd-relevant-title-here.md. In the file itself, you will need to start with the following metadata:

---
title: <your title here>
layout: default
author: <author id, from the example above 'jsmith'>
categories: [blogs]
tags: <your tags here>
---
![podman logo](https://podman.io/images/podman.svg)

{% assign author = site.authors[page.author] %}
# My Blog Title
## By {{ author.display_name }} [GitHub](https://github.com/{{ author.github }}) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{ author.twitter }})

<yourtext in markdown format goes here, check out other blog posts if you're unsure how to proceed>

Please pay attention to the categories: [blogs] section. Currently, there are 4 categories available: [blogs], [releases], [talks] and [new].

NOTE: If you want to add a ':' (colon) to your title, you will need to instead use :, otherwise the post will not be displayed on the index page. For example:

Instead of:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

use:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

Finally if your blog is more than a paragraph or two long, please add this tag after the first or second paragraph:

<!--readmore-->

This will provide a preview on the blogs index page and the reader can read that first bit and then decide if they want to go in for a deeper dive.

Testing locally

Configuration steps:

dnf install ruby ruby-devel g++
gem install jekyll bundler
gem install github-pages

VM network setup

If you are running on a VM, you may need to open up port 4000 on your firewall

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4000/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Making changes

First cd into your podman.io directory after having done a git clone of this project. Change or add the files that yow want to.

You can now test your changes locally, especially useful if you are making look/feel changes, by first running jekyll build and then start the server by doing: jekyll serve.

Then browse to http://127.0.0.1:4000 to view your changes.

If you run this on a VM, then use this command:

jekyll serve --host 192.###.###.###   - IP Address of VM

And then you can attach to the server using your web brower, http://{IP.address}:4000. Note, you must use http and not https.
