Public group website

Our group website is https://www.bacpop.org. There's also https://www.ebi.ac.uk/research/lees/ but we have less control over that.

The site has google analytics, if you're ever interested in page views.

We will try and check the site is up-to-date once every three months.

Every bit of software and every paper from the group will get an entry on the relevant page. We won't put every co-authored paper on there, but if you're an author on something I would encourage you to consider writing a short blog about it.

About us​

The most important (and most visited) page is the 'About Us' section. Everyone needs:

  • Their name and role
  • A picture
  • A short description of research interests
  • Their email

Optionally you can also add:

  • Any social media links (google scholar, github, bluesky etc)
  • Links to your blog, projects or code
  • Programming languages and expertise

Editing​

Full details can be found in the README <https://github.com/bacpop/bacpop-website#readme>__, but briefly:

  1. Clone the repository <https://github.com/bacpop/bacpop-website>__
  2. Make a new branch
  3. Make any edits
  4. Test locally by installing hugo <https://gohugo.io/installation/macos/>__, then running hugo server --disableFastRender (the link will be displayed in your terminal)
  5. Commit changes, push the branch to the remote
  6. Raise a pull request. This will automatically build, and netlify will give you a preview URL.
  7. Get anyone else in the group to review and merge your changes.

Blog posts ^^^^^^^^^^ If you want to make a new post in content/blog/<name>.md, start by copying an existing one. Posts are written in Markdown. Make sure to include images, and if you want arbitrary HTML code for interactive plots, videos etc this is also possible.

Guides ^^^^^^ Similar to posts, but meant to be more like documentation. See some examples: https://www.bacpop.org/guides/building_trees_with_ska/.
