The layout, title and author tags are required, while link and image are optional. Just save a Markdown file with this top matter as something like blog/_posts/2013-08-27-newton-institute.md, where 2013-08-27 is the date of the post and newton-institute is the short title. This short title is used in the URL of the post, so this becomes blog/newton-institute/, so the short title should be long enough and unique enough not to cause conflicts with other posts.
- Look over the metadata format guide
- Look over the Markdown style guide
