Guidelines/Rules For Posts

Filenames

Filename must follow this naming convention: YYYY-MM-DD-DescriptiveName

Directory Organization

Blog posts are added to the _post/ directory. Initially, I started out with a year directory, 2024. That became unwieldy to manage, maintain, and find, so I created a month directory.

• _posts/
  • 2024/
    • 10/
    • 11/
    • 12/
  • 2025/
    • 01/
    • 02/

Post Template

Below is the template to use for blog posts:

---

categories: [<categories>]
date: <date> <time>
excerpt: '<excerpt>'
#image: 'BASEURL/assets/blog/img/.png'
#description:
#permalink:

Government Agencies

Federal Government Agencies

Use this table to get the appropriate agency name, abbreviation, and website.

A-Z index of U.S. government departments and agencies / USAGov

Use this format to put agency names in the tags: Agency Name (Abbreviation).

Example: CDC

Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

State Agencies

This will require some research. Use Google to search for " government website". In the markdown area of the post, make it a link.

Style Guidelines

Rules

Fox News

Always use Faux News.

[Faux News](https://www.foxnews.com)

Trump's Social Media Platform

Always enclose “Truth Social” in quotes. Also in markdown, use italics. There is no appropriate character for air-quotes.

Categories and tags are separated by commas.

Categories

More than likely, this will be 'Donald Trump'

Tags

Referencing government agencies, use Name (Abbreviation)
