#How to submit an article to the blog

  1. If you haven't already, go to Github and create an account
  2. Download Github Desktop from here and install it. Follow all on-screen instructions to sign in etc. Keep it open in the background.
  3. Go to the repository here and click the 'fork' button in the top right:

  1. When it prompts you where to save the project, leave it as the default (My Documents\Github\Repo-name) or put it somewhere else. Press OK and wait for it to clone.

  2. Navigate to the repository and make your changes (i.e. copy paste your article, written in markdown, into the root of the project with the filename in the format YYYY-MM-DD_post_title.md)

  3. In Github Desktop, use the dropdown in the top left to switch to the drafts branch. (switch to the drafts branch rather than PiVersify/drafts, as this is your forked copy)
