This is only a partial review. I will continue later. Please let me know if you have any questions

[kevinearls]

Sorry, a few very minor nitpicks.

@frzifus can you please make sure that the netlify checks run through, you can click on "Details" to see why the checks failed.

[frzifus]

@svrnm its caused by wrong relative paths. I tried a few things without success :(

Could you point me to some documentation how the relative paths are organzied or give me a hint? :)

looks like you figured it out? I can see the preview now, which makes it also easier for me to provide some more review:

[frzifus]

Awesome thank you @svrnm. I will have a look. :)

[svrnm]

Added a couple of incredibly nitpicky nits. Other than that LGTM.

@frzifus: we just merged another blog post (#1677), will give this a few days to stay on top and then we will have yours :-)

Thank you for writing this and thanks for everyone contributing feedback 🎉

[frzifus]

perfect, Thanks for taking care :)

[svrnm]

@frzifus: oh, one more thing, can you share your social handles (twitter, linkedin) with us, so if people share that blog post (when it's live) can tag you?

[frzifus]

@svrnm does it matter that iam 99% inactive on that platforms? 👯
handles: LinkedIn, Twitter

It matters for your health, great decision 😂 ... if you don't want to be tagged people can skip it, but otherwise I think it doesn't matter

[frzifus]

hehe, yes. ah no its fine :)

[svrnm]

And we are live! https://opentelemetry.io/blog/ thank you @frzifus

[frzifus]

Awesome :)

Hi all, FYI the diagram source inclusion had an unintended consequence:

• Blog post from the year 1 -- due to k8s-collector-expose post file setup #1832

I'll drop the source in a subsequent PR since it can be recovered from this PR.

If you'd like to include a source file like that next time, where the file isn't indented to be processed by Hugo, prefix the file name with an underscore. Cheers!
