Hello everyone.
This is the IIITV community blog. If you ever want to share your thoughts, musings or observations with the world you are free to use this platform. This blog can also be used to serve as a news portal for the ongoing events of our college.
The blog was designed by Mofid Ansari and the functionality was developed by me, Avi Aryan. The blog resides on the github community of our college. Interested may view the source from its repository.
To make a post, you first need to have an account on github.com. Once your account is created, go ahead and fork the blog’s repository. After the blog is forked to your account, create an entry in _data/author.yml. It should go something like -
GITHUB_USER_NAME:
name: FULLNAME
twitter: TWITTER_HANDLE
tagline: SHORT_AUTHORS_TAGLINE
img: DIRECT_LINK_TO_YOUR_IMAGE
link: LINK_TO_YOUR_WEBPAGESee here for a sample.
Once that is done, create a file in _posts directory of the format YYYY-MM-DD-PAGE-LINK.md. Each of these ‘md’ (markdown) files contains a single post. After creating the file, open it and start writing your post.

layout: post
title: PAGE TITLE
tags: SPACE SEPARATED TAGS
author: GITHUB_USER_NAME

This is some **bold text** and *italics*.After writing your post (example), send us a pull request. The moderators will have a look at your post and merge it, thus your post will be live on the blog.
I know this is not the perfect guide, so feel free to contact me or open an issue in case you need any help.
