Getting started with GitLab and GitLab CI post

@nearlythere sorry it took so long, still missing a few things. I may be able to finish it by tomorrow.

Added blog post label

Added 1 commit:

• f116e2e2 - First draft of the Getting started with CI post

Added 1 commit:

• 18abff70 - small typos

I fixed some tiny typos. I like how you hinted a bit at the history. And it's nice and short!

Perhaps you can save the sections about "How GitLab CI works" for its own blog post, unless there is documentation that explains it? @ayufan has some good slides about this too, and they could be used in a blog post on its own.

Re "In the next post..." Suggestion, since we are still working on a plan for this content - we can be vague and just specify the one known (next) topic. So this sentence can be quite brief.

In the next posts we will explore how to use GitLab CI to test your projects in specific languages such as PHP.

I thought that something was off with the phrase about popularity, thanks :) I also had added few years but then I saw that this is going on for a decade and thought to skip it, but yeah seems better that way.

Continuous Integration is like a parent for Continuous Deployment/Delivery :)

Point. I removed the sibling phrase.

I don't think there is (yet), only this old image. I will remove this section then.

@AshleyS says we won't link to the tweet in this case, but the current phrasing is good, because it highlights the benefits. Thanks!
