git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:sthbrx/sthbrx.github.io.git

Create a document:

Get up to date:

git pull --recurse-submodules

Create your post in: content/blog/{YYYY}-{MM}-{DD}-{meaningful title}.markdown.

Note: asking people to review your blog post before release into the wild is preferred!

git add the source files and images, then push it to a new branch and open a PR for review.
