Contributing Posts

Feel free to contribute your own posts and ideas on this topic! Here's how:

1. Fork this repo
2. Clone your new fork onto your system and navigate into it
3. Install Bundler if you don't have it installed yet.
4. Run the command: bundle install to install ruby dependancies
5. Run jekyll serve --watch to start the server and watch for changes
6. Navigate to http://0.0.0.0:4000/ in your browser to see your site running locally
7. Write new posts in the blogging_about/_posts folder
8. Add your author information in the _config.yml file
9. When you're ready, send a pull request to the original repo!

If this is your first time using Jekyll, read this first. An important item of note is: do NOT touch the _site folder! This is where Jekyll is working to recompile changes into. Any time you make a change, it will overwrite whatever is inside of that folder.

This post also helps to explain how to contribute to a Jekyll site via Github.

##Etc.

I'm taking screenshots of the design as it progresses - sizing the window to 1024x900 px.

The site statistics are public.
