1 Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog entitled, “INSERT TITLE HERE”. This is my first blog post.

2 Instructions

In this assignment, you will be creating your “Welcome to my Blog” post by editing the contents of this document. This document is written in Quarto. Here are the course’s Quarto instructions. However, for this post, you will not need to create a new folder/post from a template (which you will do for future posts)—in this assignment, you will merely edit and re-post this current post.

To follow the instructions (below), you must first create a new GitHub repository using the “QuartoBlogFantasyFootball” repository as a template (per the instructions here). Then, you will edit the index.qmd file associated with this post in the following location: ./posts/welcome/index.qmd. Edit the index.qmd file according to the instructions below:

In the header (above; currently author: "Insert D. Name"), change the author name to your full name and change the date (currently date: "9/2/2025").
Change the post image. To do this, you’ll need to add the image file to the same folder as this document and update the file name above (currently image: "thumbnail.jpg").
Insert headers for the following sections (I aleady created a header for the first section for you):
- “Welcome to my Blog!”
- “About Me”
- “About This Blog”
Add the info described below to the relevant section:
- Insert a blog title.
- Introduce yourself and tell the readers about yourself (nothing you don’t feel comfortable sharing).
- Say what your blog articles will be about (generally) and why you are excited to write about that.
- Say something about the unique perspective you will bring to writing about that topic.
Remove this “Instructions” section (and the notes below) when you post your article.
To post your article, follow the course’s Quarto instructions to first render it locally, and, if everything looks the way you want it to, push it to GitHub so the article goes live (assuming it renders successfully in GitHub Actions)!
If you have difficulty, consult the course’s Quarto instructions.
When submitting, make sure to follow the assignment instructions and rubric on ICON, and to submit both (1) the URL to the live post and (2) a PDF of the post.
This is a public blog. The whole world can see it. This can increase the visibility of your work and profile. You can expect that anything you write online is permanent. My strong suggestion is: Don’t write anything that you wouldn’t feel comfortable with your parents or (current or) future employer seeing.
The writing should be your own!
For all graphics, you should either a) create them yourself or b) use only those graphics that you have the license to use. You can use graphics with a Creative Commons license as long as you follow the terms of the license (e.g., cite the original, indicate if you make any changes, etc). To find graphics that have a Creative Commons license, when using Google Image Search, select: “Tools” > “Usage Rights” > “Creative Commons Licenses”.
