Creating a blog post

Blog posts are stored as Markdown files inside the _posts directory. The files must be named using the following format: YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.

All blog posts must use the following template to be displayed correctly:

---
layout: post
title:  "My first blog post!"
date:   YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
categories: blog post
---

This is my *first* blog post. It uses Markdown, which you can [Google](http://google.com) to learn about.

To create a blog post, copy that template and modify it to include your content. Take care to modify the categories, the date and the title from the header (the bit between the --- lines)! Save your file using the naming scheme describe - for example 2001-12-25-holiday-wishes.md.

Formatting

In addition to Markdown, there are several liquid tags that can be used to format your posts. These tags surround the content to be modified.

Code snippets

To embed a highlighted code snippet in your post, wrap the code in highlight liquid tags. The output will look similar to the code snippet below.

{% highlight ruby %}
  # your code goes here
{% endhighlight %}

To add line numbers, use the following open tag: {% highlight ruby linenos %}.
