Manage posts in the "Top Reads" section

To add a post to the "Top Reads" section you must add the tag featured to it. Use the pr: yaml front matter to sort its position. (e.g. pr: 1 is the top post in the section).

Add reply links to your posts

Use yaml front-matter to add reply links to your post on Hacker News or Twitter.

Example:

---
reply:
 hn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9447536
 twitter: https://twitter.com/auth0/status/592765437634555904

Dealing with outdated content

To mark a post as outdated, add the outdated front matter. Aditionally, you can direct the link in the disclaimer to a specific page using the tag doc_reference, otherwise the link will go to the docs homepage.

Example:

---
outdated: true
doc_reference: https://auth0.com/docs/apiv2#!/clients/get_clients_by_id
---

  bg_color: Set the background color for your post's header. (You can use rgb or hex colors inside double quotes)
  bg_merge: Set to true to merge your image with your header's background color (default is false)
