+
+* `layout`: must be `author`
+* `title`: Name of your blog post, format is `"[{ctf_name}] {challenge_name}"`
+* `author`: Authors `short_name`. Author must already exist in `_authors/`, see [creating a new author](#creating-a-new-author).

+
+If your post has any assets place them in `assets/` and link the path appropriately in the post contents.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> We should probably standardize the `assets/` format. It's currently a bit of a mess.
