Creating a new event

Jekyll automatically collects events from the pages/events directory and organizes them into future, past, and current events.

To create a new event, create a new markdown file under pages/events with the the following content:

---
title: Event's title
layout: default
categories: past-event
when-happened: Some date here
when-happened-epoch: 1640075647 <!-- UNIX epoch, used for sorting -->
preview-img: assets/img/calm-kickoff/yt_thumbnail.jpg <!-- Preview image for events page listing -->
---

<!-- Markdown content for the event here -->

Each event should have only one of the following categories tags:

  1. past-event: Listed under "Past Event"
  2. cur-event: Listed under "Current Events"
  3. future-event: Listed under "Upcoming Events"

Creating a new tab page (navigation item)

  1. Create a new markdown file in the pages/ directory that starts with the the following content:
---
title: "Page title here"
layout: default
categories: "navigation"
order: 4
---
  1. Make sure the categories field is set to navigation. Use the order field to set the relative order of the navigation items.
