How to submit a blogpost to Hoodie

[varjmes]

The Issue

Blog Posts are submitted by making a PR against the gh-pages branch of Hood.ie. It would be erroneous to assume that everyone knows how to use GitHub, or how to make a PR.

The Solution

Create a guide on each step of the process on submitting a blogpost.
My thoughts are:

• TL;DR version for those who know how to use GitHub
• Step by Step guide for those who can/want to use the command line
• Step by Step guide for those who want to do it purely using the GitHub website.

When the issue is considered complete

There is a file (.md, markdown) in this repository on how to submit a blog post to the Hood.ie repository.

Is doing a PR to the Hood.ie repo the best way we can do this? Pulling all articles here and then sending them out to the Hood.ie repo seems the best possible option for the Editorial repo. The results of its existence will be evident by its contents, and will be centralized for examples for future Editorial contributors.

I think we need to be both. I know it will seem like a lot of the same content but once we've done one, we can adapt the other. Purely because those less confident will need step by step instructions and the process differs between the Editorial and the Hood.ie repo. So we have this placeholder https://github.com/hoodiehq/editorial/blob/master/documents/submit-post.md for the guide specifically for this repo. But I am writing a more extensive one specific for submitting the finished article to Hood.ie, here: #20. I can move that one to the Hood.ie repo but I thought the writing process of that PR should happen quietly over here, first.

It seems this has been resolved through the How to submit a pitch and the Hoodie Blog Post Process.

@renrutnnej it was actually intended to be an indepth guide to how to submit a post to the hoodiehq/hood.ie repo, with command line and in-browser instructions. It feels like the guides you linked to cover pitching and the writing process, not the Pull Requesting to the website itself? I'm okay to be wrong here, of course 😄

#20 is an idea of what I had started, to see the difference.

Oh you’re right @charlotteis, I’ll reopen because that’s an awesome idea.

Hey @Charlotteis just checking on this to see if it's still something you're interested in doing ☺️

@renrutnnej i just remember we kinda already wrote an article about it. http://hood.ie/blog/contributing-to-hoodie.html does this help?

Sorry, very burned out still so haven't done anything to do with this :(
