How to update the Blogs page

This site is a Jekyll + Minimal Mistakes GitHub Pages site. Blog posts are either standalone HTML files hosted locally in assets/blogs/, or external links to posts on BCOM Confluence, Neuroelectrics, or Substack.

Adding a new local blog post

1. Place the standalone HTML file in assets/blogs/ (e.g., assets/blogs/my-new-post.html)
2. Open blogs.md and add a new entry under the “Hosted here” section: ```markdown
   • Post Title — Short description ```
3. Commit and push:

   git add assets/blogs/my-new-post.html blogs.md
   git commit -m "Add blog: Post Title"
   git push origin recovery
   

Adding a link to an external blog post

1. Open blogs.md and add a new entry under the appropriate section (BCOM Foundation blog, Neuroelectrics blog, or Substack): ```markdown
   • Post Title (Month Year) ```
2. Commit and push:

   git add blogs.md
   git commit -m "Add blog link: Post Title"
   git push origin recovery
   

File reference

File	Purpose
blogs.md	The Blogs listing page (permalink: /blogs/)
assets/blogs/	Directory for standalone HTML blog files
_data/navigation.yml	Top navigation menu (already includes “Blogs”)
index.md	Home page (already links to /blogs/)

Notes

• Local blog posts are self-contained HTML with embedded CSS — they do not use the Jekyll layout system.
• The blog listing in blogs.md is manually maintained — add new entries at the top of the relevant section to keep newest posts first.
• After pushing, GitHub Pages typically rebuilds within 1-2 minutes.
• The site deploys from the recovery branch.
