How to write a new post?

1. All posts must go under the /_posts/ directory
2. All pages must go under the /_pages/ directory
3. The content of the post/page must correspond to a specific structure

A Post's Structure

title: <the title of the post>
route: <route to the post>
authors: <the author of the post, seperated, by, commas>

Preview

If you want twitter/other previews to work as well, add the following definition at the header of a post or page. Not that image without image-alt won't work.

• summary - For a summary of the post/page
• image - A link to an image
• image-alt - Alternative description for an image
