How to add a news post

All news posts are stored in _posts directory as files which are formated using Liquid and Markdown. A new news post can be added by adding a new file which should be properly formatted as a news post otherwise the jekyll build process will be crashed and new changes won’t be deployed as a result. You can refer old news posts as a template.

Failed build process will be notified via email but oftentimes the cause of the error is not provided. So, be careful to change the format.

Here are screenshots of a sample news post.
