Add a new bio page

Leighton Pritchard edited this page Jun 14, 2022 · 1 revision

How do I add a new bio for myself (or someone else)?

You should add and commit your changes following the usual site editing workflow

  1. Create a new page in the _pages directory. Please use a filename starting with the word bio and your name, e.g. bio_leighton.md
  • You may want to copy one of the existing bios, to get started with some ideas
  1. Ensure that, in the new page, the categories field of the header includes the term Bio, and the permalink field looks like /group/bios/<your_name>.
  2. Update the group.md page so that your name links to the new bio file using the permalink /group/bios/<your_name> (see the other links for examples).
  3. Add and commit your changes as usual

What happens when I do this?

If you follow this guidance then, when the changes are pushed, Jekyll works its magic: your page becomes accessible at http://sipbs-compbiol.github.io/group/bios/<your_name>, and also via the http://sipbs-compbiol.github.io/bios and http://sipbs-compbiol.github.io/group/bios pages, as well as from the group members page.
