This is a checklist of items that an editor, if not author, should go through prior to publishing a blog article.

  • Read through
  • Consider adding pullquotes?
  • Check title
  • Check summary and its formatting
  • Check slug
  • Check date
  • Check author profiles
  • Review tags
  • Feature article?
  • TOC look good? (can all entries be a single line?)
  • Does start_test work?
  • Check captions
  • Check code comments?
  • Check for console vs. terminal choices and consistency
  • Spellcheck
  • Check hyperlinks
    • If a release announcement, check for docs/main or docs/ vs. docs/x.yz
  • Make sure to commit+push any changes made in this pass

Post-merge:

  • Update website's "news" section
  • HPE Dev card
  • Social media blurb

So far, have mostly drafted (most of) my sections and pasted others'
in without much editing.

Many wordsmithing suggestions, most I'd consider optional (the one missing "." is quite possibly the only exception). Feel free to avoid applying, I won't pout 😄 .
