how to create new blog post crash course

fork repo/create a branch
duplicate a file like this: https://github.com/medevice-users/gallery/blob/master/src/documents/posts/heroku-diabetes-dashboard.html.markdown

name of file

The name of the file controls what syntax/format the file uses. Most blog posts should be called my-blog-post-name.html.markdown, and should be under the posts/ directory.

Syntax will be markdown (you can see a cheat-sheet by pressing the letter m on this page right now).

For other examples, you can just use html, jade, or eco, like so:

foo.html - html
foo.html.jade - use jade
foo.html.eco - use eco

Most blog posts for time being are very simple, just a link to an image somewhere, with a thumbnail url. To activate the survey and thumbnail features of the site, make sure this content is included at the top of the file:

---
title: Medtronic Dashboard
date: 2013-07-16
layout: post
tags: ['dashboard','post']
thumbnail_url: http://diabetesvisualization.t1dtechnology.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/medtronic-dashboard-314x224.png
survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1F5SEFNx5W_-hKY065uiwQdAaSjq2Q259NdmKNhXiwcI/viewform#_
---

Be brave!
