Write And Deploy a New Blog Post

The steps are basically:

1. Work: most probably you will write a markdown file in content/Blog/
2. Check your work:
   1. Run hugo server -D. Note that once hugo is running, it will auto-reload when you edit a file.
   2. Open http://localhost:1313/
3. If it's all good, deploy your changes:
   1. Commit your changes
   2. Run the build: ./build_wiki.sh
   3. Push the sources and the generated wiki: git push origin master && git push origin dev

Writing Instructions

Where to write what kind of articles:

• The Home page should shortly present the project
• The category The Project should contain project-wide articles
• The category CubeSat Modules should contain Wikipedia-style articles (timeless articles)
• The category Blog should contain updates and announcements (timed articles)

An article should be formatted like this:

{
    "title": "This is the article title",
    "date": "2017-11-14T18:58:44+01:00"
}

Lorem Ipsum, Markdown formatted. You can also add *shortcode* that add additional features, such as include a youtube video: {{< youtube "video_id" >}}

You can also include raw HTML code, but this is <span style="color:red;">strongly</span> discouraged (really, HTML is the worst).

---

The first part is a JSON header. Most fields are optionals:

* title
* date: optional. If the date is in the future, Hugo won't publish the article, unless you pass `--buildFuture` when running hugo.
* summary: shows in the page listing, instead of an auto-generated one that just takes the beginning text
* image: the URL of an image that will be shown on the listing page
* alias: optional. This is usefull if you published an article and shared it, but the auto-generated URL changed (because you changed the date or the title)

Custom shortcodes:

A shortcode is a mini template. Custom shortcode are in layouts/shortcodes/.
