Your photos need to be placed under photos/<Collection_Name>/. This will be how the website knows where each image should be displayed.

Any color averages you have (the palettes) need to be placed under averages/. You should name the average file something like photoname.png.average.png. What is important is the first portion of the filename is the same so code can automatically pick it up.

Any descriptions of a photo can be saved as /photos/<collection-name>/<photo-name>.md and will be rendered on the photo's page. Only markdown is supported.

Any blog posts get written in markdown and placed in the posts/ directory. The website will display them under the /blog/ endpoint. The title of the blog post on this page will be the title case version of the filename, replacing "-" with a space: how-cameras-work.md -> How Cameras Work.

#Updating The Site

To create a new entry for the photowebsite:

1. Copy your PNG and JPG files with the same names to the appropraite folder under photos

2. Create two directories: images, averages

3. Put a copy of your PNG into the images folder

4. Run the Color Average Palette Generator (CAPG)

5. Copy the created averages from the averages folder to the production averages folder

6. (Optional) Place a .md file with the same name as the images in the image folder to add details about the image.
