To add a blog post you need to simply create a new file within the /_posts/ directory and it has to be named YEAR-MM-DD-Name-of-Post.md. For example 2017-10-27-Comparative-Metagenomics-of-Blastocystis.md. Note that the "Name-of-Post" is important and is the title used for that blog post.
Once you make the new .md file you need to place:
---
published: true
post_snippet: INSERT_TEXT_HERE
---
At the top of the file (or you can replace published:true with published:false if you want to simply save it as a draft and wait to publish it later). For example.
The text following post_snippet is the preview of the post that will be shown on the Blog page under the post title.
Formatting is done using Markdown. This Markdown Cheatsheet might come in handy.
Lastly, instead of editing directly on github, you can use http://prose.io which provides a nicer web-based user interface for editing.
