Create & post NASA blogs on nasa-openscapes.github.io

[jules32]

Goal:

• have NASA blog stories on the NASA site, so that all in one place/portable
• We point so many people to nasa openscapes website; help it look alive (so much on about page but pretty hidden/not visible)

Plan:

• cross-post in both places starting with Matlab post Blog post: MATLAB in the Cookbook - Oct 17 #280
• maybe going forward, consider posting NASA blogs there and have quarterly "summary of NASA blog posts" on openscapes.org?

@jules32 can stand up website & cross-post Matlab post on Wednesday

@jules32 I need a bit more info to do this. I can create a "blog" section of site; wondering how to make it super easy to cross-post blog posts with zero (wishful thinking) extra effort beyond cp-paste of a .qmd file

[jules32]

@stefaniebutland I will do the first work on this today. We'll catalogue more ideas here that we can continue to tackle this fall. NASA-Openscapes/NASA-Openscapes.github.io#19

For now, we'll start copying posts with the nasa-framework tag (n=20). https://openscapes.org/blog#category=nasa-framework. The workflow for cross-posting will likely be: copying the whole post folder (e.g. 2023-10-17-matlab-on-openscapes) from website-new to nasa-openscapes.github.io since we need the images too. I do this in Finder on MacOS.

• Move 7 most recent blog posts. These have images saved within the post folder.
• Move 2023-05-11-pathway-cloud-computing - copy images that were saved in the old openscapes.org website megafolder img
• Decide how to handle remaining earlier posts, that would also need images copied.

Notes for translating images with R to markdown:

• remove quotes around the .png (UWG2023_Cloud_Environment_Opportunities_2i2c.png)
• width not fig-width, but otherwise the same (e.g. fig-alt)
• = not : (width="75%")
• double check there's opening and closing quotes around fig-alt and width

I also removed URLs from alt-text, since they would be read out loud

Hi @stefaniebutland would you be able to come back to this to finish?

For that third check-list above, it will involve identifying a list of old NASA related posts to move. Then we can tackle based on priorities. I noticed today that searching for Champions doesn't include 2022, so that would be a good one to start with.

Thank you!

Copied over 2022 Champions and 2023 Xiaohua Pan's post

Started sheetwith list of posts to migrate. I need to check a few things before it's useful.

[jules32]

Thanks Stef. I remember we also created https://nasa-openscapes.github.io/news/2022-12-31-previous-news/ to help people find those 10 posts remaining.

Are you ok to leave as is and close issue or do you want those copied over?

[stefaniebutland]

We decided to leave this for now, label “good first issue” and add to Backlog so that it’s a way people could contribute if they wanted to
