Publishing Blog Posts

• Ensure you have Homebrew, Node, and the GitHub CLI installed
• Clone the GitHub repo down locally. From the terminal, run: gh repo clone r-token/the-golden-hurricast
• From the terminal, switch to the hurricast folder you just cloned down. Run cd path/to/the-golden-hurricast
• From the terminal, run npm i
• From the terminal, create a new GitHub branch named 'blog' and switch to that branch: git branch blog && git checkout blog
• Create a new folder within src/pages - name it according to the pattern of the existing posts
• Create a new file named index.md within that new folder
• Add metadata to the top of the index.md file

Example:

---
path: "/odd-case-frank-haith"
date: "03/12/2021"
sortDate: "2021/03/12"
title: "The Odd Case of Frank Haith"
authors: "Ryan Token"
excerpt: "Rick Dickson has a decision to make."
tags: ['basketball', 'coaching']
---

• Blog post content should go inside the index.md file
• Images for the post should be added within the static/blog_images folder
• Images within the post can be loaded as follows: ![image alt text](/blog_images/folder-name/your-image-name.jpeg)
• Once you're ready to publish, run git add ., git commit -m "added a new blog post or whatever you want to say here", and then git push origin blog
• In a minute or so, the preview of the blog post should be viewable at blog--thegoldenhurricast.netlify.app
• Once you're happy with it, create a new Pull Request by going to the hurricast repo on GitHub, clicking Pull Requests in the top menu, and clicking the New Pull Request button
• base should be main, compare should be blog
• Add some description text if you want, and then click Create Pull Request and let me know. Once it's approved, you can merge it into the main branch, and that will automatically update the production website at https://thegoldenhurricast.com (it will take a minute or two)
