once you have added your own posts.</p>

<h2 id="how-to-add-a-new-post">How to add a new post</h2>

<ol>
  <li>Create a Markdown file in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_posts/</code> folder.</li>
  <li>Name it <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">YYYY-MM-DD-a-short-title.md</code> (the date drives the post’s URL and
ordering).</li>
  <li>Add the front matter block at the top — copy the one at the top of this file
as a starting point.</li>
  <li>Write your post below the front matter using regular Markdown.</li>
</ol>

<h2 id="adding-a-photo">Adding a photo</h2>

<p>Drop an image into the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/images</code> folder and reference it in the front matter:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="na">image</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/images/my-photo.jpg</span>
<span class="na">image_alt</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">A</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">short</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">description</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">of</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">the</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">photo"</span>
<span class="na">image_caption</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">An</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">optional</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">caption</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">shown</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">under</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">the</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">photo"</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>The photo appears at the top of the post and as the thumbnail on the blog
listing page.</p>

<h2 id="formatting">Formatting</h2>

<p>You get everything Markdown offers — <strong>bold</strong>, <em>italic</em>, <a href="/">links</a>, lists,
and code:</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>kubectl get pods <span class="nt">-A</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<blockquote>
  <p>Pull-quotes and callouts look like this.</p>
</blockquote>
