The OpenRocket public website

This site is live at openrocket.info

Nearly all site copy is in mardown files. Each page is an index.markdown file in the page name's directory.

Screenshots should be stored in the screenshots directory. Design and other helper images should be in resources/img. If possible include the source files!

To make a new News post, add a file under the _posts directory with the format YYYY-MM-DD-title-goes-here.markdown. Look at existing files to get the idea. The header of the file needs to be proper YAML Front Matter, again just copy the last post as a template. Please be verbose as you like. An excerpt can be created by placing a new line with <!-- bump --> in the file. Only the content before the bump will show on the front page. The front page is automatically updated to reflect new posts. Just create the post and commit it!

When we make a release a news post should be made (see above) and a link to the download should be added in the 'release' section of the _config.yml file. This will update the download buttons site wide.

To view your changes to the site build the site locally with jekyll (github's page rendering program) like this:

$ jekyll serve

And point a browser to localhost:4000.
