The Bold Report

The Bold Report is powered by Jekyll. Feel free to browse the code and report any issues.

You're free to use whatever you'd like, however, posts found in the _drafts or _posts folder are copyright of Timothy B. Smith, and may not be used without proper attribution. Of course, the logo is also my copyright… you know what you can copy/paste and what you shouldn't. Be nice.

Getting Started

$ git clone git@github.com:smithtimmytim/theboldreport.net.git
$ cd theboldreport.net
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve -w -o

Voilà!

Contributing

Here are some guidelines for contributing to The Bold Report. First time contributors can open Pull Requests, once you’ve written a few times, I’ll add you as a contributor to this repo.

Writing CSS

Run the CSSComb profile in each (S)CSS file to make sure it's written according to guidelines. Other than organization of rules, selectors are written in the BEM syntax.

Writing Posts

Posts are written in two major formats: links and articles. You can distinguish them easily by using the YAML front matter.

---
layout: post
title: Apple iPhone Touchscreen Faster than Android Devices

# the category is either “links” or “articles”
categories: links

# custom type is either “link” or “post”
custom_type: link

# this is only needed on link posts

The first line of an article post is formatted as a subheader, so keep that in mind when writing out your article. You can reference this post to see what that looks like.

Code Samples

Code is written with GitHub Formatted Markdown.

Images

Write them using the custom function.

{% figure classname path/to/image.png “Caption Goes Here“ %}
