BlaBlaCar's Tech Blog — all BlaBlaCar Techies are invited to participate :)

We use Jekyll for the blog, an easy-to-use way of transform plain text into blogs posts. Posts are written in markdown, it could not be easier!

• You need a local webserver in order to run and test the blog
• Clone gh-pages on your machine and configure your localhost accordingly
• Install Jekyll and the required plugins

    $ gem install jekyll
    $ gem install jekyll-redirect-from
    $ gem install rdiscount

• Warning: commits to gh-pages are immediately live

• Add new authors in the _config.yml, it's as easy as this
• Posts are written in Markdown, can it be any easier?
• Posts (.md files) are to be saved in _posts, with the following format: 2011-12-31-new-years-eve-is-awesome.md
• Posts should be tagged, for instance "Culture", "Tech", "Conference", ...
• Images that belong to a post go into images, prefixed with the posts's date (e.g. 2011-12-31-happy.png)
• Drafts should end up in the folder _draft, without a prefixed date (e.g. new-years-eve-is-awesome.md)
• If you create a new tag you also need to create the according html file in blog/tag to have a working archive
