-- committing and pushing to the `main` branch will trigger an Actions workflow that will update the main website.
+We use Quarto for running this website. To write a new post:
+- create an .ipynb or .md file in the `posts/` folder.
+- copy the header from one of the existing posts. Edit to set the date and author and such.
+- leave the `bibliography` portion of the header. Then, you can add and cite articles in the `biblio.bib` file.
 - for local preview: 
   - `brew install quarto` 
   - `quarto preview`
+- committing and pushing to the `main` branch will trigger an Actions workflow that will update the main website.
