This represents the blog content for FFIT, rendered live for your reading at https://blog.flyingfortressit.ca .

This blog is built using Hugo, and all raw blog content source is stored here as part of the deployment pipeline.

Clone the repo, then you need to initialize the submodule (theme) with

git submodule init
git submodule update

You'll also need to get a local install of Hugo. You can follow the installation instructions on the Hugo GitHub readme, or you can get it from the Ubuntu/Debian repos (it's called hugo).

Posts are kept here, and are created with something like:

hugo new posts/<post-url-name>.md

Note that the date in the post file is auto-generated by the above command, and set to the time the time the above command is run. You can change it, see the next section. This will create a file named as you gave in this folder.

Posts are formatted with Markdown formatting, except for the front matter which can contain a variety of additional information. A selected example header is included below that contains the most useful parts.
