Getting Started for Staff

This video walks you through how to make changes to the website in general, though it was for a different class.

1. How to edit the calendar schedule
   Go to _modules and edit the markdown file for the corresponding week. For a list of label styles, see here.
2. How to edit course staff profiles
   Go to _staffers and edit the markdown file for the corresponding staff. You can also update their profile pictures in resources/assets/staff_pics/. Make sure the filenames match.
3. Syllabus and Resources can be edited in the corresponding markdown files.

Note to staff: Always pull changes before making any edits.

2. Edit the baseurl field in _config.yml to the repo name.
3. Update the links in _config.yml.
