Every post must have the following metadata:

layout: "post"
title: "some title"
date: 2222-01-25

    - pleroma
preview:
  "short gist..."
url: "https://pleroma.social/link-to-news-source"

Tags A tag is either "fediverse" for general articles or the title of a particular Fediverse project.

A post may have one of these tags: actorscafe, anfora, commonspub, diaspora, distbin, dokieli, dolphin, epicyon, fediblog, fediverse, forgefed, friendica, funkwhale, gancio, gnusocial, groundpolis, guppe, honk, hubzilla, kanzaki, kibou, kroeg, lemmy, mastodon, microblogpub, misskey, mobilizon, moontree, nautilus, peertube, pixelfed, pleroma, plume, prismo, p3k, reel2bits, rustodon, social (for NextCloud Social), smithereen, socialhome, writefreely, zap.

Wanted Add this metadata to a post that you wish to show in the upper visible part of the Chronicles page. Calls for contribution, calls for donations, calls for help should be posted with this metadata.

Wanted and featured can't be mixed and are temporary. This metadata must be removed from an older post when creating a new "featured" or "wanted" post.

Banner Required for "featured" posts only, an image wide enough to be used as a fullscreen background (~1920px), should be placed in /source/_posts/exact-post-file-name folder. Any other images used in this article may be placed there as well. See example.

Authors Required. Add an array of object(s): name you wish to be shown as the author, and one website link (preferably link to your Fediverse profile). If it's the link to your account on Fediverse, specify network name - lower case, without spaces.

Thanks!
