Contributing to the Blog

Thank you for your interest in contributing! 🎉 We’ve made it simple to share your post using folder-per-post structure — no need to clone the repository.

Method	How It Works
GitHub Web Editor	Create a new folder and index.md file directly on GitHub using the template, then submit a PR.
Email	Fill out the post template and email it to lepv@ornl.gov. We’ll handle the folder creation and publishing.

A. Submitting via GitHub Web Editor

1. Navigate to content/posts/ on GitHub.

2. Click Add file → Create new file.

3. In the filename box, enter a unique folder name followed by /index.md.

   • Example: my-new-post/index.md
   • Note: If your post includes images, create an images subfolder inside your post folder (e.g., my-new-post/images/) and use relative links to reference them in your index.md file.

4. Copy and paste the following template into the editor:

   ---
   title: "Your Post Title Here"
   date: YYYY-MM-DD
   tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
   author: "Your Name & Others"
   summary: "1–2 sentence summary of your post"
   ---
   
   Your main post content goes here.

5. Fill in your title, date, tags, author name, and content.

6. Click Propose new file → Create pull request.

B. Submitting via Email
