Nice pictures - I look forward to the text (on this same pull request please). |
|
Sorry, how do I do that? xD |

On the website? Go to https://github.com/Kyra-Feuer/OBF.github.io/tree/main/content/posts which is the relevant directory on your branch, and top-right look for the "Add file" button. You can upload the file, or since this is plain text copy-and-paste. |

Does it look right now? |

Does one of your images make sense as a cover image? If not, remove this line

Remove this line too - or if you have a suitable image, add a description here.

| Thanks to the Event Fellowship from Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF), I was privileged to attend the 2025 International Statistical Genetics Workshop (ISG). ISG is an intensive, week-long workshop held annually in Boulder, Colorado that provides hands-on training in the principles and application of over a dozen open-access bioinformatics tools for analysis of genomic data. This workshop has been running since 1987 and boasts a faculty of world-renowned experts in statistical genetics from around the globe. The curriculum switches annually between family-based and population-based genetic studies. The focus this year was on the theory, performance, and interpretation of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and their downstream analyses. | ||

@gedankenstuecke Should this text be the "alt text" describing the image (for visually impaired readers etc)?

Indeed, that should be the alt text for screen readers!

@gedankenstuecke Am I right in thinking that to preview the post we need to run Hugo on our own computer? |
|
Yes, I fear so far we don't have a CI pipeline that would build previews somewhere else. I think in theory that's possible but not by just using GH actions iirc! |

Thank you, @peterjc and @gedankenstuecke for helping Kyra with this process, and thank you, @Kyra-Feuer, for being our guinea pig - this is the first time someone outside of our core team has tried to make a new blog post on our new website (launched just a few months ago). |
|
Happy to help! @peterjc I think it would be really helpful for the preview rendering to show the images, that way we can tell if we are formatting the captions correctly. I'm not entirely sure I did it right :) I just updated the file, any further suggestions? |

I ran into some issues running Hugo locally on an older Intel Mac (see #70), but found a workaround of sorts to preview the pages in WezTerm (an alternative terminal which includes image protocol support). I used the penultimate release of ❯ sed "s#(/img/#(static/img/#g" content/posts/2025-04-30-Kyra-Feuer-2025-International-Statistical-Genetics-Workshop.md | ~/Downloads/mdcat-2.7.0-x86_64-apple-darwin/mdcatThis worked nicely:

Live at https://www.open-bio.org/2025/04/30/2025-04-30-Kyra-Feuer-2025-International-Statistical-Genetics-Workshop/ - thank you! I think there's something duplicating the title though... |

I was perhaps rash in merging this without seeing it via Hugo. In hindsight, we're missing the suggested opening paragraph in italics - from the template: See e.g. https://www.open-bio.org/2025/01/07/jacqueline-wahura-ento24-experience/ This isn't a hard suggestion, but it does make sure your name as the post author is obvious. Perhaps we should add something like this at the end of the template too: Which would you (@Kyra-Feuer) prefer to add here (or both)? You can make another PR to edit the page, or just comment here with the wording. |
