Transitland news/update (blog) follows a lot of Mapzen blog. Mind that this process skips details and detailed explanation of each step. If you have problem running at first, please take a look at 'First time setup' part of Mapzen blog README.
First, you pull the latest version of www-transit-land. Then
bundle install
inside of your directory. This installs Ruby dependancies that you need to create a new post.
bundle exec rake newpost "My post title"
What this does is it adds a sample Markdown file to the _posts directory, named <timestamp>-my-post-title.md (where the timestamp is today's date, in the format YYYY-MM-DD.) You can change this timestamp if you want to publish it on a different date.
Transitland blog supports the blog post without title, but for making permalink purpose, you still need to name your post in reasonable way.
The rake newpost task has also created a folder for your images! It is located at images/my-post-title/. Drop any images you'd like into that folder. The image path is going to be
This is same with Mapzen blog, but different thing is that the images should be pushed to the repo. For the purpose of making the repo light, you can grab image address from Mapzen blog if your post is already in Mapzen's blog.
Don't forget to set isThereTitle as false. It is inside of yaml part of the post, which is on the top of the blog post.

### If your post is long
Transitland blog is infinite scroll style, so you probably want to split the post if yours is long. To split the post, put
```
<!-- more -->
```
at the point that you want to split. It is going to be like this.
```
blah balh something this paragraph is going to show up on the front page
<!-- more -->
People can read this part only when they clicked read more button
```
### If you are cross posting from Mapzen blog
You can just copy the markdown file then place it into `_posts` folder.
