+Contributing a Blog Post
+------------------------
+To contribute a new blog post, create a new Markdown file in /_posts, using
+_templates/2018-06-22-blog_post_template.markdown as a template. Follow the YYYY-MM-DD-blog-post-slug.markdown filename
+convention, and annotate your post using the yaml frontmatter of the Markdown file (this functionality is provided by
+Jekyll).
+
+Follow the instructions above during development -- `make serve` for local development, and `make` to generate the final
+product.
