   • After that do git pull origin master to make sure you get all the new posts from others
2. Go to the folder _posts
3. Copy the example post: https://github.com/simplystats/simplystats.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2011-09-01-examplepost.md to a new file with the format: YYYY-MM-DD-a-relevant-title-separated-by-hyphens.md
4. Write your post in markdown.
5. Add a line at the beginning that says: Editor’s note this is a guest post by … with your information.
6. Add, commmit, and push your changes to your forked branch
7. Send a pull request
8. We will review the pull request and if (a) the pull request can be accepted with no changes and (b) we approve of the post we will accept the pull request and your post will appear on the blog.
