🙂 Thank you @AngeloStavrow!
I might not be able to review it until Wednesday probably. I'll try to make it sooner than that. Meanwhile, try to add to the post the images/gifs you want to use, making it complete before the review. Just to make the reviewing process a little faster :)
But I've already spotted a few dead-simple things for you to fix:
- Remove the
## Introduction
- start directly from the text - Leave a blank line between a heading an its following paragraph
- Improve the
description
in the frontmatter: try to make it look less like the title itself - Try to find an image for the cover: it can be a screenshot or a public domain image (please provide the link to the original image )
Thanks again! Please ping me again when it's ready to review!
😃 - Remove the
Pre-scheduled to Aug 19th. Let's see if we can make it in time, otherwise I'll reschedule to the following week.
Edited by username-removed-236961@virtuacreative Thanks for the little mistakes you noticed—I've fixed those and I'll be taking some screenshots to add tomorrow.
✅ FYI, the cover image I chose is from Unsplash (link) — is there somewhere specific in the blog post that I should link back to the photo? I couldn't find that information in the Blog Handbook.
Thank you @AngeloStavrow! So far so good :)

I think we've missed that, but should be there. It will be: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/issues/411 :) thanks for asking.
For now, just add the link to the header of your MR:

And, at the end of the post, before the identifiers. Add it in a comment:
<!-- cover image: https://unsplash.com/photos/hkN2Zde2ga4 -->
Then we guarantee there's no doubt that the image is free to use, and it's noted in the post.
Standing by for your updates!
@virtuacreative, when you say to
add the link to the header of your MR
where exactly do you mean?
A bit late on this, sorry — I'm adding screenshots now.

Added 1 commit:

Added 1 commit:
- 10fda03d - Adds screenshots for creating new file in Working Copy.
Added 1 commit:
- 139755cc - Adds screenshots for editing the file in Editorial.
A few screenshots to add before I think this is ready for review. Making a little list for myself:
- How to create a new branch in Working Copy
- How to create a new file in Working Copy
- How to open the new file for editing in Editorial from Working Copy
- How to launch the Working Copy workflow from Editorial
- How to commit and push changes from Working Copy back to GitLab
I think that should do it.
Ha, totally forgot to add this comment before sending up some commits.
