Hi there, my name is luisa fraser, and in this video I will show you how to create a new post on the microsoft 365 platform, community blog to post a new blog post. You will need to do this on github.

A

If you don't already have a github account, please go to github.com and sign up for a new account once you did that it's a good idea to also upload a profile picture so that community can recognize. You now go to github.com pnp community blog.

A

You will now be able to create a copy of this repository so that you can work on your copy. We will select fork, will take a minute and create a fork in your account.

A

You will now locate the content, folder add the posts folder, and you will see that all the blog posts are showing up here in alphabetical order.

A

Now go back to community blog, locate, the assets, images folder and here the blog folder, and you can see that all the blog posts have a corresponding folder in here.

A

That contains all the images for this blog post, and this is what we will be doing as well. So first things first go to the community block assets, images block. We will add a new file, we'll be creating a new file and now do a little trick. So I want to publish a blog post, which is called test01, so I will create this folder and now I will just.

A

Delete later.md, so I will just create a little file inside of that folder so that that folder gets created automatically. So I can write something in here. I don't need to necessarily- and I would just commit my new file over here.

A

So this way I created a folder which is called test a1 and inside of that folder. I have a file which I may delete later in this folder. I will upload all the images that I want to put into my blog post. So, let's add a file. I will upload a file choose my files.

A

A

That's title image, so this is my commit message which makes it later more easy to track my changes. I will commit this. This is now processing and I uploaded this picture.

A

If I want to upload more pictures, I would just repeat this process. After that I will go to the content: folder go to post, we'll, add a file and create a new file, and this will be. My test01 is for markdown and I will put first the title here and I will indicate that this is the title with a hashtag, so hashtag a space. This is my title, then I will have the heading 2.

A

So this is the second level of headings heading 2 and perhaps I will be having a heading three and so on and so forth. If we can't write this correctly, okay, next up is perhaps I want to have a bullet point list.

A

This is a list and perhaps I also want to have an ordered list, so this is first. This is second, and this is third.

A

Whenever I want to insert some code blocks, I will go with three backticks then put my code in here and close with three backticks again. Whenever I want to insert a link, I will open the brackets.

A

This is my link put in a description for this link um close the brackets again open the parenthesis and now comes the url, so this is um aka ms m365pmp, for instance, and whenever I now want to insert an image we go exclamation mark.

A

This is my beautiful image, beautiful image and now go in parenthesis, and now I need to know it is in the assets folder in the images folder in the blog folder, then the name of that folder that I created this is test01 and after that, the name of the image which happens to be bliss dot jpg.

A

So if we are unsure, if this is already working, we can always go to preview.

A

And see something is off here, so I forgot to close the parenthesis um check again and now we can see the beautiful bliss image is over here few formatting things um to close this. Whenever I want to have something in both, I go double asterisks to emphasize something like in italics. I will underscore and to have mono space.

A

uh Names, etc, I would go with a simple backtick, let's preview, this as well, and as you can see both italics and mono space. So this is a super easy way to format your article after you are done with writing. Your article wrote an awesome article.

A

A

We will commit this file and after we committed this, it is now here in the post, folder, and it shows my commit message over here. The last thing that I want to do is asking the maintainers of the original repository so of that one here to pull in my changes into the repository so into the original.

A

So how do I do this? I go to pull requests so I'm requesting this select newport request and I will need to compare this across forex because my changes are in my fork are the original repository. So I will select compare across frogs and I will compare this fork to the original one and we can see I created a delete, later.md and actually yes, I should still delete this. I created and add files via upload and I did the createtest01.md and all of these changes are listed over here.

A

You can see that and now I can create this pull request and I will say, um creates a new article with images for demo.

A

I can list a few things here, more more info, if I feel like it and preview, this, of course, as well. So markdown is for micro. Formatting is supported here as well, and after that I will create this pro request and now a maintainer will receive a notification and everyone is trying their best to keep things moving forward and help you to get this published as well. So we will reach out to you if there is any information missing.
