Tutorial VIII: HTML

20-04-2020

Quick note on highlighting that Markdown supports raw HTML. That means that if for some reason Markdown falls short or becomes inconvenient for a thing you are authoring, you can always use HTML as a fallback solution. One very common scenario is customizing the width and height of your images.

Tutorial VII: internal links

19-04-2020

In your blog post you will write links to internal resources, like other articles, pages, and images. You can use relative paths for those assets so for example to link the archive you may use the following code [archive](/archive). This will work fine, since that’s the url of your archive, but what happens if you decide to change the url? You’d have to search for any occurrence in your site for any link and fix it.

Tutorial VI: local environment

17-04-2020

I’ve included a simple docker-compose.yml file in the root of the repo, so you can spin up a local environment without having to install in your computer Ruby or any other library. If you are versed in Ruby, gems, and bundle you can probably skip this section and go ahead!

Tutorial V: posts

15-04-2020

Posts in your website are stored in the _posts folder and they follow a naming convention that you should follow using the date first (year, month, day) and then a simple title slug. This helps to keep things organized.
