Contributor's Guidelines

Contributors to this repository are students in the fall 2013 section of INLS560 - Programming for Information Professionals at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill's SILS program. As such, most commits in this repository will be blog posts pertaining to assignments given in class.

The Golden Rule:

Never commit in the Silshack repository. Always do your commits in your own fork and send a pull request to the Silshack repo.

The Other Golden Rule:

Never merge your own pull requests. Allow your instructor and other student committers to do it for you.

Posts

This repository uses Jekyll on top of Github Pages to function as a class blog. As such, certain Markdown standards are needed in the formatting of posts so that all pages can be served correctly.

  • All posts need to be created as markdown files in the _posts directory. For more informaiton on the directory structure of a Jekyll blog, see here.

  • In order for Jekyll to properly convert posts to HTML, two things are required. First, the file must be named correctly, using the format YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.

  • Second, the post must contain a block of YAML front matter. For the purposes of this site, posts will typically include layout, author and categories.

  • Although Jeykll is also capable of using Textile, this site uses Markdown for consistency and ease of use. For more information, read Jekyll's documentation or go straight to the source and read Daring Fireball's much more helpful markdown documentation.
